    BETHLEHEM, Conn. (WTNH) — From Bethlehem to Paris — Jessica Savner is ready to compete in the pentathlon at the 2024 Olympics.

    “The Pentathlon is a five-sport event — running, swimming, shooting, show jumping and fencing” Savner said.

    She said fencing is her strongest sport.

    She was a walk-on in college, which meant she had no scholarship and was not recruited. But, that did not stop her from putting in all the work needed to make it to the Olympics.
