LOLO JONES, 100-meter hurdles
Lolo Jones’s journey to the Olympics began in a most unlikely place, the basement of a church in Des Moines.
Jones’s mother, Lori, and her five children lived a peripatetic existence. Jones said they moved almost constantly, staying one step ahead of rent collectors, and the children attended a new school every year. Jones said her father was not around, that he was in the Air Force and when he got out, he bounced in and out of jail.
“We were living at the bottom of a church when I was in third or fourth grade,” Jones said. “I don’t know how long. First thing I knew I was going to camp there and next thing I knew we were living in the basement. I’d sneak up before the kids came to the camp like I had just arrived there. It was weird.”
