    Women's Track & Field
The first women's track & field All-American in Rhode Island history, Jennings earned the honor in the hammer throw in 2009. That year, she finished eighth in the country, which at the time was the highest individual finish for any event for a Rhode Island competitor at the national championship. Jennings was a two-time NCAA Championship qualifier in the hammer (2008 and 2009). She placed second in the hammer at the 2009 NCAA East Regional after winning the 2009 Atlantic 10 title in the same event. Her throw of 203'0 at the 2009 A-10 Championships remains the conference record 15 years later. Jennings also was the hammer champion at the Penn State Relays and the New England Championships. She was the 2008 NCAA East Regional Champion in the hammer and was the first NCAA Regional champion in any event in program history. She won that title with a program-record throw of 205'06 after also winning the 2008 Atlantic 10 title. Academically, Jennings was honored with the 2008 National Academic Momentum Award. She was the female recipient chosen out of 63 nominees.
