From elementary school to now has been quite the journey. Coming out of an impressive collegiate running career at the University of Colorado where she won four NCAA Championships, Simpson made her way to the Olympics three times in 2008, 2012, and 2016.
The fire took two lives of Colorado residents along with damaging over 991 structures in the state. Simpson said the resilience of her Boulder County neighborhood has been an inspiration to her, especially in continuing to run races and marathons.
That little bit of encouragement from a PE teacher charted a course that no one could have dreamed or imagined all the way to the Olympic games.
Jenny Simpson has had a remarkable running career already, becoming a 3-time Olympian and World Athletics Champion. The 38-year-old from Colorado has gathered many titles in her career thus far.
