"After the recent signing of Michelle Kleynerman, we are excited to announce that her younger sister Jenna is joining our team starting next fall as a freshman," said Turati. "I cannot wait to have Jenna here and start working with her to help our program achieve our goals. She has a strong personality and is very motivated. It will be fun having a pair of siblings on the same team! Welcome to Mizzou, Jenna!" 

Jenna Kleynerman was the captain during her senior season for the Byram Hills High School, leading the Bobcats to league, section and state titles. Moreover, the team was four-time league champions and three-time section and state champions during her time.
