Career
Jenneke has competed with coach Mick Zisti as a hurdler at the Cherrybrook Athletics Club from the age of ten. In the 90 and 200 meters hurdles, she competed at the 2008 Canberra-hosted Beijing Pacific School Games.
Jenneke finished first in the 100 meters hurdles in March 2010, breaking the national record in the women's sprint medley relay at the 2010 Australian Junior Championships. She competed in the 2011 Pirtek Athletic Allstars competition. She was on Australia's team at the 2010 Singapore Youth Olympic Games in July, running the 100 meters hurdles and the women's medley relay. She came second in the hurdles for a personal record after winning her heat, and the medley relay team came fourth, placing second. Her medal was the first Australia to win the Games in athletics.
In 2011, Jenneke competed at the New Zealand hosted Cooks Classic. She finished first-place in the under-20 category at the 2011 Australian Junior Championships. She finished third in the 100 m hurdles behind world champion Sally Pearson in April 2011.
Jenneke finished fifth in the 2012 IAAF World Junior Championships 100 meters hurdles on July 15, 2012. Following the race, a video of her 100 m hurdles taken during the heats race was then posted on a video-sharing platform, raising her profile around the world.
She was selected as a member of Australia's 2014 Commonwealth Games team. Jenneke finished fifth in the final with a time of 13.36 seconds and was the youngest competitor. She is Australia's second-fastest 100 meter hurdle woman.
In the same heat that caused the world record fall to Tobi Amusan, Jenneke's personal record is 12.66 set at the 2022 World Athletic Championships in Oregon. She finished second at nationals to qualify for the 2015 World Championships in Beijing. Jenneke made it to the semi-finals after being heat on the heat. She came in sixth place in her semi-finals and 18th overall.
Jenneke represented Australia at the World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, where she came in 10th place in March 2016. She qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 8.93 seconds last month. Jenneke competed in the Olympics in August but was unable to escape the heat, finishing in sixth in 13.26 seconds. To qualify for third time in her heat, she would have needed a near-personal record as the third qualifying time in her heat was 12.85. Craig Hilliard, the Australian head coach, was dismissive of her results.
In the Australian University Games at Perth, Jenneke tried her hand in the 100 meters dash, making it to the final, and the long jump, where she finished second with a distance of 5.61 meters and her own event, the 110 meters hurdles, which she won in 14.19 seconds.
Jenneke qualified in her second World Championships in August 2017 and made it to the semi-finals, finishing in 7th place in a time of 13.250. As the second qualifying time in her semi-final was 12.85, she would have needed a near personal record to reach the final. Jenneke and her warm up jig were included in the BBC's montage of events (the moments of the games as BBC presenter Gabby Logan called it) on the games' last evening.
After running a qualifying time of 12.99, she represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games in April 2018, finishing fourth at 13.07.
