Personal: Jenny lists her parents as her personal heroes because she believes they have all the qualities of true superheroes: determination, strength, courageousness, will, and patience. She was introduced to rowing because her brother, Lance, rowed and she would go to his regattas and thought the sport looked fun. Jennifer’s father, Nolan Cromwell, played in the NFL for 11 years with the L.A. Rams. During competitions, Jennifer wears her rowing jewelry, which includes an oar-shaped necklace and earrings.
