Jenny Leehey
Jenny spent much of her formative years in the pool, until she finally quit and joined the track team during her senior year of high school. It was then that she discovered she was meant to be a multisport athlete. While at Georgetown University, Jenny was a founding member of the school's club triathlon team, and she competed at USAT Collegiate Nationals in 2007 and 2008. Since graduation, she has been training with the DC Triathlon Club, racing everything from 5ks to marathons and sprints to half iron distance triathlons.
