Recruit ranking
“Her times [this winter] were definitely impressive, and seeing her indoor results really back up what I have always thought about Jenna from watching her. She just flat knows how to compete. The higher the level of competition, the better Jenna runs. No moment seems to be too big for her.”
Sean O’Neil
Head Coach - Head coach of Knoxville Catholic High
