Jennifer Kenney is a former collegiate swimmer turned professional triathlete in 2018 after podium finishes at 70.3 World Championships in Chattanooga TN and Ironman World Championships in Kona in 2017. While her true love is swimming, after taking on a friendly bet with a neighbor to complete an Ironman, she was hooked. Since turning pro, Jennifer has competed in seven 70.3 races with a top 10 finish at Eagleman along with numerous open water swim races. The longest being a 12-mile Swim Around Charleston and 3.5-mile Swim the Loop, with results as first overall female in the midst of 2020. The love for running came with triathlon, leading Jennifer to Boston Marathon qualifications and two finishes with a goal of a sub-3 hour at Boston in 2021.
As if training to compete with the fastest females in the sport was not enough at age 45, Jennifer works full-time as a Speech Language Pathologist in telehealth and hospital rehab, while raising two teenagers (swimmers!) that happen to be her biggest fans.
