She was the youngest athlete as well as the only woman on the list.Also in 2010, Jennie joined forces with The Q Sport to create iQ Fastpitch, a testing program designed to test physical athleticism and mental toughness to help young athletes create a pathway to college by showing them strengths and weaknesses in their game. Jennie graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering and is a softball analyst on the Big Ten Network.
