Get to know Coach Jen

It all started with a game of PURSUIT. As a third grader in Connecticut, Jen wanted to be just like her Dad, an avid runner. Therefore, one night, they headed to the track, where Jen had to run four laps to Dad’s five laps. Jen won. The following week, it was 11 to 12 laps. Jen won again. Eventually, Jen was the one running more laps, and she entered her first official cross-country race one year later, which she won again. A running fanatic was born…

Jen continued on to run competitively for her high school and as an NCAA DI XC/TF athlete at Lehigh University, where she met her husband, Mike. Since the arrival of their two sons, Logan & Cooper, Jen earned her first marathon victory at the 2019 Myrtle Beach Marathon in 2:51 and continues to chase a USA Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying time.
