Jaclyn "Jackie" Jeschelnig-Ulm (born November 19, 1979, in Mentor, Ohio) is an American hammer thrower. [1] A graduate of Ashland University, she won five NCAA Division II and nine Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship titles in both the hammer and weight throw, and achieved a thirty-ninth-place finish at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Jeschelnig also owned an outdoor personal best of 68.83 m (225 ft 9+3⁄4 in) by placing first at the 2004 Ohio State Relays Meet in Columbus, Ohio that secured her a spot on the U.S. track and field team for the Olympics. [2]
Born and raised in Mentor, Ohio, Jeschelnig started her hammer throw career upon enrolling at Ashland University as a member of the track and field team for the Ashland Eagles under head coach Jud Logan. [3] While competing for the Eagles, she compiled a record of fourteen titles throughout her four-year collegiate career; nine of which came from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC)and five from the NCAA Division II Championships. Jeschelnig also posted an all-time NCAA Division II meet record of 64.86 m (212 ft 9+1⁄2 in) in the hammer throw and 20.53 m (67 ft 4+1⁄4 in) in the non-Olympic 20-pound weight, which garnered her as a ten-time NCAA All-American and as GLIAC's most valuable track and field athlete in 2002. [4] On February 17, 2003, Jeschelnig was surprisingly featured in Sports Illustrated's Face of the Crowd magazine issue. [5]
After graduating from Ashland University in May 2003 with a mathematics major, Jeschelnig joined with eight other athletes for Ashland Elite's athletic program, which was devised to help Olympic aspirants undergo rigorous training for future track and field meets. [6]
Jeschelnig entered the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens on her official international debut, as a member of the U.S. Olympic track and field team, in the women's hammer throw, along with fellow athletes Anna Mahon and Erin Gilreath. [7] Two months before the Games, she initially finished fourth at the Olympic Trials in Sacramento, California, but saved a permanent spot on the U.S. team for achieving an Olympic A-standard of 68.83 m (225 ft 9+3⁄4 in) from the Ohio State Relays Meet in Columbus, Ohio. [2] [8] Jeschelnig started her opening throw with a satisfying distance of 58.00 m, before committing a startling foul on her second attempt. She extended a remarkable toss to 62.23 m on her third attempt, but it was not worthily enough to put her through to the final, leaving Jeschelnig in last place among the Americans and thirty-ninth overall against a field of forty-eight hammer throwers at the end of the qualifying round. [9] [10]
Jeschelnig-Ulm resides with her husband and fellow thrower Richard Ulm and works as a Vice President at JP Morgan Chase Columbus, Ohio. [3]
