BIO:

A home movie of 6-month-old, pudgy-faced Jackie shows her mother holding her upright, hands under armpits, exclaiming "LOOK at those strong cycling legs!" Eighteen years later, after realizing competitive swimming wasn't challenging enough, she finally accepted her fate. Jackie graduated from the University of Florida in December 2011 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a contract with Exergy TWENTY12. In her first year with the team, she followed up a strong road season with two wins at Elite Track Nationals.
