Tenisha Jones brings a lifelong passion for track & field and athlete development to the coaching staff. A former collegiate athlete, Jones began competing in track at the age of four and continued through college, earning two Junior Olympic appearances (2004, 2005) and competing for Buffalo State College from 2007–2011. During her collegiate career, she was the 2007 SUNYAC Outdoor Triple Jump Champion and SUNYAC State Champion before an ACL injury in 2008 ended her competitive career.
Jones transitioned seamlessly into coaching and athlete development, beginning private training in 2014 with a focus on proper running mechanics and speed development. In 2019, she founded PASE Training, working with middle and high school athletes across the DFW Metroplex and Midland, Texas. Since 2022, she has coached with Legendary Elite Track Club, while also serving as a jumps and sprints coach at Southwest Christian High School in 2024. There, she coached a TAPPS Long Jump and Triple Jump State Champion and State Record holder, while contributing to 10 state titles and 16 school records.
In 2025, Jones served as the Jumps Coach at Texas Wesleyan University, where her athletes earned two indoor national qualifiers, one Indoor Triple Jump All-American honor, a SAC Championship, two SAC runner-up finishes, and two outdoor national qualifiers. Her coaching philosophy centers on technical excellence, injury prevention, and holistic athlete development.
