I want to take this opportunity to thank you, each and every one of you, for being the best supporters I could have ever asked for. 🇺🇸🙌
WORLD BRONZE MEDALIST. ☺️
It’s easy to never give up in matches when I was raised by my mom who never quit.🙏
All weekend I said to myself, “I am my mother’s daughter. I am built for this.”

I realize I’m blessed I didn’t get paralyzed. I’m counting my blessings no doubt about that.
So many of you have reached out, and I can’t tell you how much it means to me.
Still assessing all my options. 🙏
There are so many people to individually thank but I wanted to put out my sincerest appreciation to you all. ❤️ I am so humbled by all the people who cheered me on. Even though my heart hurt so deeply, I felt so much support from so many. I am forever grateful. 🙏
I apologize for the delay, I didn’t get out of the ER until the early morning.
So many have reached out with support and prayers. This community is the best, and I am forever grateful for the support.
I am devastated by the turn of events- I was just getting my groove on.
A lot of emotions.
Thanks Tony for capturing this.
I’m so grateful for all the support. 🙏
I have dreamt of these big moments for a long time, I just always thought I would get to celebrate in person with my mom.
Now it’s time to finish the job in her honor.
I love you mama
I know I have asked a lot. But today is a BIG day. The surgeon doesn’t know if my mom will survive closing up her sternum.
So I am truly asking for anyone to send her strength, prayers, anything you got. She really needs it.
🙏
I was in usada testing forever last night, so I’m just getting through these awesome messages.
In case I miss some, THANK YOU ALL! I am truly touched by the support. That series was a blast.
I am built for this. 💪❤️
True Story: When Shakur and I were youngins, he checked weight with his shirt and singlet on. After he was like, “Yooo, Jenna, I could eat my shirt and still make weight”
😂
And I have never forgotten that y’all

MY BEST FRIEND IS AN OLYMPIC CHAMP❗️I can’t even put into words how happy I am for Sarah. She has put in the work for so long. She’s disciplined, she’s strong, she's SLICK as I like to call her. But to me, she’s sunshine.

Very tough scene today at women’s nationals… Sage Mortimer knocks Emily Shilson out cold with a pair of strong front head lock bumps. Shilson has a history of concussions/head injuries… Mortimer was actually DQ’ed after this. Thoughts?
This sport is tough on the body and sometimes it shows no mercy.
I’m truly humbled by the amount of messages and support I have received. I can’t thank you all enough.
I’m so proud of my mom. Today was the first time I’ve heard her call Alex my wife out loud in public.
I know that doesn’t seem like much, but for someone from her generation. It’s a pretty big deal. 😊
Since my brother has Autism, wrestling was the easiest way for us to play.
Then when a flyer got passed around in the 1st grade, I took one and this boy in my class told me I couldn’t b/c I’m a girl.
So I told him to watch me.
Keep my mama in your prayers if you don’t mind. Send us all the good vibes. 🙏✨
She’s the toughest woman I know.
I know she will tackle this open heart surgery.
🙄 The Homophobes in the wrestling community, I swear.
Disappointing to see.
The truth is, you can’t decide who your kids grow to be.
Encourage your children’s interests, instead of pushing your own agenda.

There’s been a lot of chatter out there. I would hope if you support me here 🤼♀️ I also hope you support me here 🏳️🌈
I don’t feel that who I love is a political statement. I don’t believe supporting equality for all is a political statement. Racism is real, and it’s everywhere. (1)
I was at the bank today working with someone who had previously worked with my mom and brother.
I tell you, it’s insane the amount of people my mom touched. Everywhere she went she left her mark. 🥺😔
I have some big shoes to fill. ❤️
#RIPMom
Some of y’all were extra quiet during BLM, then super quiet for Pride month and the pride logo fiasco, and now some are quiet with wanting WFS & Greco matches.
It isn’t equality when it’s convienent for you. It’s equality & inclusion. Period.
Excited about the opportunity. 🦃 😆
For clarification, I am still apart of Army WCAP, but I will be splitting some of my time between WCAP and SERTC. 🙏

Happy Birthday to my sweet brother. He turns 33 today. He’s been making me laugh since the day I was born. He’s taught me more about life than I could ever put to words. It’s crazy to think just how far he’s come. 💙🎊

THIS WOMAN KEEPS ON FIGHTING. 💪🙏
That’s MY MAMA!
THANK YOU GOD!
They have closed. The chest closed well. She is stable currently. Her heart rate is good right now.
She might go into AFIB, but that’s to be expected.
It was the first time the doctor has sounded more confident
I'm just saying big guys like to wrestle too and score points! Y'all not putting the big guys on the cards. The HWTs and Light HWTs want to wrestle TOO!!
Thomas Gilman in tears as he shakes his former coach Tom Brands' hand. Fellow former Hawkeye Spencer Lee leaps into his parents’ arms after pinning Gilman to win the Olympic Trials. What a match.
Mensah is truly one of the good ones! On and off the mat.
I love watching her compete. Love training with her. Love being around her.
Keep it up🇺🇸💪

This is huge for women’s wrestling and I am so happy to be apart of this. 🦃
Please everyone continue to pray and lift my mom up. Send her strong vibes to make it through this. I have been with her all day in the ICU.
Her surgeon said it is absolutely a miracle that she made it through the night and is still here.
Time has come! Heading out tomorrow for my next military school ( ALC) at Fort Lee, VA.
As Soldier Athletes we get to wear many hats. It’s a privilege to get to do what I do. Excited for the opportunity to grow.
Train to lead, lead to train!
Yes USADA, I love the 8:55pm knock on the door. Especially when I have to be up at 0400.
Awesome!
Been tested 6 times since final X.
Still competing clean, y’all.
A big thanks to
@AdidasWrestling
for everything!
I have been working with Adidas for 3 years now to make a great women’s singlet- I’m incredibly impressed with the fit we developed.
It’s a privilege to represent
