Jaclyn grew up loving sports like basketball, soccer, cheer, gymnastics, and cross country. At 14, Jaclyn fell in love with distance running and her husband through high school cross country. After taking over a decade off from running, Jaclyn started training for a marathon in her early 30s and rekindled her passion for running. 
 

Olympic Trials Qualifier, Gina Rouse, and the Hanson brothers have helped create Jaclyn's running philosophy. A strong emphasis on a slow buildup, nutrition, adequate rest, and strength training are part of Jaclyn's program.

Jaclyn currently works as an Instructional Coach at Sweetwater High School and lives on a century farm with her husband, Greg and two daughters.
