During her college career at the University of Michigan, Simmons competed in the 100 meter hurdle, 200 meter, the high jump, the long jump, the 800 meter, the shot put and the javelin throw.
Simmons has years of experience working with athletes. She was the events and strength and conditioning coach at the University of Michigan.
