Jen Rhines started running when she went out for spring track in 7th grade. She competed in the 100 and 200 meter sprints, but gradually increased her race distances each season. By the time she got to 9th grade she was racing the 800 and 1500 meter runs. During those years Jen was a three sport athlete. She’d play soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter and run track in the spring.
Eventually Jen realized that running was going to be her best sport so when she transferred from Phoenix to Liverpool High School in central New York to start her sophomore year she joined the cross country team. She quickly became one of New York’s top runners. In cross country, Jen qualified for the Footlocker Cross Country Championships her junior and senior years. Her senior year she was 5th at Footlocker. She was the New York State Champion in the 1500 her junior and senior years. She left Liverpool High School with still standing school records in the 1500 (4:31) and 3000 (9:56) meter runs.
With those credentials it isn’t surprising that Jen was recruited by many colleges. However, it was the storied history of the Villanova program that led her to the suburbs of Philadelphia to continue her running. Her start at Villanova wasn’t what she envisioned. Her frosh cross country campaign ended with a 98th place finish at the NCAA championships. The team won but she didn’t contribute to the team score and it bothered her…..a lot. She recognized the problem and made changes. The following year she placed second then her junior year she was the NCAA Cross Country Champion. While at Villanova Jen was a five-time NCAA champion. Added to her cross country title is the outdoor 5000 three consecutive years (1994-1996) and the indoor 5000 in 1995. Jen graduated with a degree in civil engineering in 1996.
