All Access with Jenna Uhe
Eastern junior Jenna Uhe covers quite a bit of the “field” part of track and field. Not only is she a standout jumper, but she also began throwing the javelin her freshman year. Doing both the long jump and triple jump isn’t as rare, but her success in both hasn’t been matched recently in the Ohio Valley Conference. Uhe is the defending outdoor conference champion in the long jump and added an indoor title at the 2008 OVC Championships in the triple jump. She recently talked with Staff Reporter Mike Mears about which event she prefers, her plans on attending nursing school and her “Singstar” playlist on her iPod.
