Lynn Jennings was one of, if not the finest women’s U.S. cross county runner in the modern era. Lynn once said, “Become one with the mud.” She was absolutely fearless. Like Doris Brown Heritage, Lynn Jenning built a reputation on being a tough athlete who loved challenges. And both loved hills. So, be fearless. Become one with the mud and hills.
