Jenifer Turner-Reid was a rare multi-sport athlete in an era where specialization was the norm. After a successful career at Morrow High School, Jenifer came to Kennesaw State and thrust what was then an athletic program in its infancy, into national prominence by being a three-time Owl All-American -- the first in school history. As a track and field standout, Jenifer's fourth place finish in the 400-meter hurdles during the 1985 NAIA Track and Field National Championships in Hillsdale, Mich., made her the first-ever Kennesaw State All-American. Under the tutelage of then Head Coach David Poteet, she also participated in the 100-meter hurdles, short sprints, long and triple jumps as well as throwing the javelin. During her junior year in 1986 she led the Owls to their first-ever championship by helping the squad win the NAIA District title. She repeated as an All-American at the NAIA T&F Nationals in Russellville, Ark. After completing her third year of varsity basketball play, Jenifer capped her senior track season by three-peating as an All-American, this time in the long jump.
