Athletic competition started early for Jen when she joined the Marshall Swim Club. Her love for competition grew and later joined the volleyball and track teams. Jen was a three-sport athlete throughout school lettering in swimming and track all four years, and volleyball two years. Jen served as captain in all three sports her senior year. Jen set three HS swim records, competed at the State Swim Meet all four years, placed in the Top Ten 10 th -12 th grade, and was named Academic All-State in swimming. Jen recalls volleyball as an amazing experience and love for the sport flourished, winning two invitations in 1998.
Throwing shotput and discus for the Track and Field Team was something Jen eagerly anticipated every year. Jen’s technique improved over time resulting in 1 st place at the Twin Valley Conference, and 2nd in discus and 5 th in shot put at the Stockbridge Regional Meet. Her senior year, Jen qualified for the State Meet in Discus with a throw that broke the High School record.
For Jen, the good fortune of playing three sports she loved her entire HS career was magnified by the lifelong memories and connections made with friends, coaches, and loving parents. Currently, Jen serves as a Sales & Agency Relations Specialist for JM Wilson in Indiana and Ohio. In 2022, Professional Insurance Agents of Indiana named her Company Partner of the Year.
