Senior Jessica Kain is part of San Diego State’s women’s cross country and track team. Kain comes from a family of professional athletes. Her parents were both triathlon athletes, graduating from UC Santa Barbara and later competing in Olympic trials for distance triathlons.
Kain was born in Santa Cruz, a small knit coastal community south of the Bay Area. It is also known as a running community with some great runners known to come out of the area. The beautiful and natural terrain of Santa Cruz’s many trails was the perfect place for Kain to enjoy her long distance runs.
