As a student at Rutland High School, Jenny Everett was a three-sport standout before excelling in field hockey at the collegiate (Wake Forest of the ACC) and national level.

As a four-year varsity player at Rutland High Everett was instrumental in the Raiders three Division I field hockey state champions in 1993, 1995 and 1996. She was named to the Burlington Free Press All-State team in 1995 and 1996 and was also a two-time high school All-American (1995-96).

She was equally as successful in track & field winning both the D-I outdoor 1500-meters and 3000-meters three times (1994, 95, 96).  Everett played on the Raiders’ Division I champion boys’ varsity ice hockey team in 1996.

At Wake Forest, Everett broke six field hockey scoring records: assists in a season; goals in a season; goals in a game; points in a season; and points in a career. She was named a NFHCA College All-American in 1999 and 2000, the same two years she was named All-ACC first team. She helped Wake Forest reach the NCAA final four in 2000. 

Because of her field hockey skills, Everett was named to the U.S. national under-18 team in 1996 and the U.S. national under-19 team in 1997 and 1998 when she was attending Wake Forest. 

Everett was named to the GTE/Verizon Academic All-America team in 2001 and received the Marge Crisp Award as Wake Forest’s top female athlete in 2001.
