Coach Jenny Perry begins her 5th season with the Crusaders in the 2017-18 academic year.

Jenny has been involved with NNU’s cross country and track programs since 2003. She competed on the Crusader cross country team in 2003-2006, and earned GNAC All-Academic honors in 2006 and 2007. After graduating from NNU in 2007, she continued to support the team by assisting her husband, associate head cross country coach Jake Perry, with various behind-the-scenes tasks.

Perry regularly does visualization and relaxation exercises with the team and is largely involved in the personal and spiritual development of the distance athletes. She has helped coach four national-provisional qualifiers in track and field, two of which competed at NCAA Div. II Nationals.

Jenny has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Minor in Criminal Justice. She received her Master's in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2010 and her Master’s in Social Work at NNU in 2013. Jenny and Jake currently reside in Nampa.
