Jenna Dobbs, Algonac: Season 3, Episode 7

Welcome to another episode of The Blue Water Running Podcast, where we feature and celebrate the amazing high school and collegiate cross country and track and field athletes and their accomplishments from the Blue Water Area.  

On Saturday, May 30, Algonac sophomore Jenna Dobbs earned her first All-State track and field medal by placing fourth at the Division 3 state finals in the 400-meter dash, running 59.36.  After chasing a sub-60-second time all season, she broke the school record, which just happened to belong to her own mom.  Jenna now sits at number six all-time in the Blue Water Area and has the current number one time in the area from this 2026 season.  Along with trying cross-country for the first time last fall and dropping her 5K time by nearly two minutes, she is also a competitive gymnast balancing multiple high-level sports.

Join us as we chat about her season, her goals for the future, and get to know her personally as a Blue Water Area athlete.
