I just watched Jenn in her try outs for the Olympics. She looked real nervous on his first jump. It was windy. On the third jump, Jenn set a US record. :bigthumbsup: :#1: :#1:
She reads this blog along with her parents and grandparents. I saw her grandparents a few weeks ago and they all said "THANK YOU" to the Villagers.
Please keep her in your positive thoughts as the World record is held by a Russian and Jenn has a huge task to represent the US against such tough competition.
Again a big "Thank YOU" from Jenn and her family.

If you do read this Jenn - congratulations. Enjoy the experience for what it really is as it will seem like it's over before it even begins. It's nice for us to have a 'connection' to the games.

Congrats, Jen and good luck in Beijing. http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/Oly...esults/F26.asp http://www.usatf.org/news/view.aspx?...07_06_19_08_45 :bigthumbsup: ;D

Thanks you all and anybody else who wants to give a shout out. I know Jenn's parents and grandparents read this and show it to Jenn. I also know she is very nervous and this is her first time with all the intense media and competition.

Her DAD said she says "Thanks" and apparently all the good wishes are working. You are a part of her team. Thanks again!

Jen, we wish you all the best. Enjoy your time in the Olympics - it will be something you will treasure forever. You will certainly have all of us Villagers rooting for you for sure!!!

The Russian set a world record today.
The article is on the last page of the Sun today.(July 12,2008) Jenn Stuczynski has her name mentioned.

Whether Jenn breaks world records or not is truly irrelevant. So is winning the gold. Those are bonuses. To have come so far, to have worked so hard, to have attained so much, that is why we are rooting for her. To have done all of this in an out-of-the-way place, without the best equipment, to be as gracious is she appears to be, that is why we are proud of her.

Jenn, no matter what the outcome, we'll be cheering you on and will be thrilled when we see you at the Olympics. You may not be a hometown girl but you're one of us nonetheless.

Saw that article mcelheny. This looks like the same AP article but from the Minneapolis Star Tribune http://www.startribune.com/sports/24532854.html Have to root for the Americans though to reclaim the world record or at least give the Russian some competition.

Good luck Jenn in Beijing.
