Jahnetta Jones '18 Recruiting Profile

One Dream. One Goal. A Million Strides. 

I started running before my aspiration for track began at age six of course in the normal game. In elementary school I was known for outdoing the pacer test. The compassion was there even when I didn't know it, I guess you could say. Today, my main events are the 200 Meter, 100 Meter, 4x1 Relay and 4x2 Relay. Track has brought out the leadership skills within me, obedience, and showed me what it means to truly sacrifice. In my idea track is one of those sports where what you put in is exactly what you get out because track requires no game plays, but more physical and mental wellness than anything. I've gotten to the point where I'm willing to put in the work to get where I need to be although, I understand having a positive attitude can make all the difference. A big leap starts with the mind to land on the stars.
