Sitting comfortably in a kitchen chair, Jurnee Woodward casually smiles and points to her favorite tattoo, an intricate wolf's face on her bicep, which symbolizes the mental strength she continues to hunt. The 20-year-old hurdler has needed every ounce of it to conquer life's obstacles, on and off the track.
Woodward's hazel eyes glitzen when she reveals her first passions were soccer and film. It was okay that Woodward wasn't a good soccer player, because she always knew her profession would be rooted in the film industry. She had no intention of becoming one of the top hurdlers in the country at collegiate level.
