Jennifer Shuble, a graduate of Kingwood High School, has won the Gold at the 2008 Paralympics.

Jennifer won the Olympic Gold Medal for her performance in the Paralympic Games’ Women’s Cyclist 500m Time Trial. She not only won the Gold but broke the world’s record! Jennifer has set a new record for the CP4 class. Not bad for a newcomer to the U.S. track cycling program, which she joined in 2006.

Jennifer’s family and friends already knew she was a champion to contend with long before the Olympic Games. Jennifer received the high honor of being appointed a West Point cadet. While at West Point, she received a brain injury during a hand-to-hand combat session. A few years later, Jennifer had the misfortune of suffering another traumatic brain injury in a car accident.
