Middlefield Resident Jennifer Schulten Receives Sports Honor

Middlefield resident Jennifer Schulten was recently named one of the winners of the 2016 John Wentworth Good Sports Award for helping others through sports.

Schulten, a married mother of two, received the award from the Connecticut Sports Writers’ Alliance for the Go Far, Go Fast school running program she founded, reports The Middletown Press.

The school recess program, which she founded about 10 years ago, teaches Middlefield and Durham youngsters about running and good health.

“We started with the idea that running is for everybody and should be enjoyable,” Schulten told the Press. “It should not be solely competitive. We need to nurture a love of running in young athletes.”
