Jenna was diagnosed with a congenital birth defect called Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency from birth. This means that her left leg did not grow and she was born without a hip joint. Fesemyer fell in love with wheelchair racing and decided to pursue wheelchair racing in college. After some quick research, it was easy to find that the University of Illinois houses the best wheelchair athletes in the world. She’s since attended the University of Illinois for her bachelors degree and is currently finishing up her masters degree in Education Policy. Along with her studies, she’s also grown as an elite athlete, testing her limits in the Abbott World Major Marathons, with top finishes in the Chicago, New York City, and London Marathons. In 2021, Fesemyer had the honor of representing the United States of America at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games - competing in the 1500m, 5000m, and marathon.
