Jenna Lynch grew up in Central Wisconsin, playing tennis from a very young age. Lynch pursued the sport on the varsity level all four years of high school, playing in the top-seeded position in singles for three years. During that time she earned the sectionals championship title two years in a row. Feeling a call to attend Franciscan University of Steubenville and study social work during a time when the University did not offer a tennis program, Lynch decided to continue in the sport through running tennis clinics and coaching private lessons. She graduated from FUS in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in social work with the plan to pursue a master’s at the University of Pittsburgh. Lynch currently lives in Steubenville with her husband, James, and their newborn son Jude.
