She was married last October, hence the name change for the former Jenny Barringer, who ran the steeplechase at the Beijing Olympics while still a student at the University of Colorado. She has a beautiful home in Monument. She has access to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and the athletic facilities at the Air Force Academy.
Her widely respected coach, Air Force coach Juli Benson, was a 1996 Olympian in the 1,500 meters — the event Simpson will run at the upcoming world championships in South Korea.
