Since 2000, Jessica’s progression through the junior and youth competitions has shown that she is a promising talent for the future. At only 22 years old,  Jessica has shown immense promise as a multi-eventer.

2006 was her first season as a senior athlete and true to form she achieved her first senior medal … in her first major championships. A bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne marked the arrival of a new star on the British team where she now ranks as the British number one heptathlete. Perhaps more impressive, she is currently ranked as the number seven heptathlete in the world by the IAAF, though she holds the third best score so far this season.  

In May 2007 Jessica equalled the 25 year old British High Jump record for women by jumping 1.95m. She also broke Denise Lewis' British under-23 record for the heptathlon by scoring 6388 at the IAAF Combined Events Challenge in Dezenzano, Italy. In doing so reached the qualifying standard for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008... and she also scored new personal bests in three of the events!

Since then Jess set a new personal best clocking up 6469 points at the IAAF World Championships held in Osaka, Japan.
