The Beauty of Sport, Part Five: Jenna Prandini

Jenna Prandini is an emerging star in track and field.


The California-born Ms. Prandini is a graduate of the University of Oregon, where she distinguished herself by winning the long jump in the 2014 NCAA Women's Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, doing it again at the 2015 championships and also winning the 100-meter dash in the process.

Global success has come with a silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, along with gold-medal victories in the 100-meter and 4x100-meter relay races at the 2018 North American Central American and Caribbean Championships in Toronto and a 4x100 relay gold at the 2018 Continental Cup in Ostrava, Czech Republic.


The Olympics?  She did take part in the 2016 Games at Rio, coming in tenth in the 100-meter dash.  Hopefully she'll be able to compete in the next Olympics, whenever they may be.
