Jones was the only child of a five-child family, and grew up in extreme poverty. She lived with her mom in the basement of a church, and was constantly on the go.

Jones was kept apart from her family at Theodore Roosevelt for the purpose of competing in athletics in track and field. Jones lived in four distinct houses during her years of high school, so she could attend all of her classes in one location.

As she began college, Jones proved to be one of the most skilled hurdlers. She won the 100-meter obstacle in 2002 at the NCAA Track & Field Championship. She also was part of the team that won the 100-meter relay. Jones is the NCAA champion in indoor hurdles both in the year 2003 as well as 2014.
