Jones’ dedication is not limited to the track. Her academic resume includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Stanford University and a Master of Science in Healthcare Administration from USC.

Despite her busy schedule, Jones still finds time for leisure activities.  She enjoys spending her free time at the beach and cherishing moments with family and friends. Jones has taken on a mentorship role in Santa Barbara, where she has returned home to guide high school girls interested in the heptathlon.  She acknowledges the difficulties of entering this demanding event at a young age and is devoted to developing new talent in the sport.

The transition from the structured life of a college athlete to the uncertainties of professional athletics presents unique obstacles. Jones reflects on the transition from her regular schedule of practice, homework, and sleep to the responsibility of managing her time and resources independently. Despite USC continuing to offer coaching, training facilities, and track & field access, Jones is no longer receiving financial assistance for daily life expenses, meet and travel, and equipment costs. The economic hardships many track and field athletes face are highlighted by this shift, compared to their counterparts in more lucrative sports leagues.

Jones is facing financial uncertainties even though she is an accomplished athlete. Despite finishing fifth at the Olympic Trials as a testament to her skill, the immediate concern of paying rent remains. Jones is exploring different ways to get support without being sponsored and emphasizes that sponsorships don’t always come from traditional sources like shoe companies. Her objective is to obtain financial support that permits her to continue competing at the highest level.

Jones’ experience at USC has been nothing less than spectacular. During her inaugural year, she established the school’s heptathlon record, garnered All-America recognition, and triumphed in the Pac-12 heptathlon championship. Her impressive performances have made her one of the most prominent athletes in USC history, and the USTFCCCA recognized her as the 2023 Pac-12 Women’s Field Athlete of the Year and the West Region Indoor Women’s Track Athlete of the Year.
