Aerelle Jones
I am a 22 year old Track & Field athlete from Nicholasville, KY who was born with Klippel Feil syndrome, which affects the development of bones in the spine. I don't remember how found out about wheelchair racing, but I immediately knew that's what I wanted to do. Living in an area without adaptive track programs, my coach/dad and I watched Youtube videos and figured it out as we went along. Not knowing where else to start, I registered for local 5ks and 10ks. Four years later, I discovered and fell in love with track. In my first season of track competition, I made the Junior Nationals and was named High School All American. I am still training and competing today. I have traveled all over the nation for competitions going everywhere from California to New Jersey to Georgia to Illinois.
