According to her mother, “I think the most important quality besides the physical is that Jody never wanted attention on herself and wanted her fellow athletes to shine, especially the younger ones.” She is still doing her sport and competed in her third 50-mile run in Vermont, and runs every day thanks to finding her passion in cross country from Steve Soucy and BHS.
