FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Throughout the summer the Methodist University Department of Athletics will feature a student-athlete from each team on the web site. The student-athlete will have the opportunity to answer a hodge podge of questions, almost completely unrelated to their athletic performance to give Methodist fans an inside look at the Monarchs.

Jasmine Jones recently completed her sophomore year at Methodist competing with both the cross country and track and field teams. During the 2011 cross country season, Jones competed in four races averaging 30:30.35 in 5K events. She was a Mason Dixon All-Conference athlete during the indoor season in the 60 meter hurdles. Jones is also a two-time Methodist Scholar Athlete.
