Jacqueline's passion for the sport began when she participated in school Track & Field in 1976. The fire was lit when she was 11 years old and driven even higher by the Summer Olympics in Montreal in the same year.
In early 1980 she participated in over 35 cross country and road races around the province while logging over 1900 km those years. Yes, like a pure road runner she kept a log then and still does today.
While competing in NB, she won the SunLife Series/Labatt Lite series four times including 1982,1986,1987,1990. She was the runner of the year in Southeastern striders in 1982,83 and 84.
