Jenny Crain was an elite American runner, competing in USA Outdoor Track and Field Championship track and road races ranging in distance from 3000 meters to the marathon and in the U.S. Olympic Trials at 5,000m, 10,000m and marathon distances. Crain followed her brother, Peter, into competitive running in high school and continued her running at Ohio University where she earned All-MAC honors. After college she put her competitive running career on hold while pursuing a professional career until deciding to train for and compete in the 1996 Olympic Trials. On August 21, 2007, while on a training run for her fourth Olympic Marathon Trials, Crain was hit by an automobile, while crossing the intersection between Brady and Farwell streets in her hometown of Milwaukee. Jenny suffered a myriad of injuries including extensive brain damage, ending her competitive running career and starting a life-time of rehabilitation.
