Jess comes on the show to chat about the rise of the Crown Running professional running team, which has blossomed since its creation by Jess and her partner, Ben Lundell, in 2021. She talks about the new members and why her racing team is different from other Iowa racing teams. Jess, the women's state masters record holder for 7 miles, tells her story and the moment when she had to decide if she would quit the sport or throw herself fully into it. Jess, who lives in Dubuque, offers some changes she has made over the years that have enabled her to post personal records in her 40s. She also talks about her blended family with Ben and a new race that she and Ben want to get started in Dubuque.
