Coach Barnett ran the 400m-Hurdles at Oklahoma State University under Jim Bolding, the 440-yd World Record Holder.  She also competed in the mile relay and occasional 4x100m relay.  Her exposure to the collegiate-athletic experience is valuable in mentoring youth athletes.

Coach Barnett started coaching with Personal Best Athletics in 2011. Being a full-time stay-at-home-mom she has a unique gift of nurturing, encouraging, and developing young people.  She is homeschooling her two daughters and directs a homeschool co-op.  Whatever she's doing is with intention to share her love and faith with others. She is true blessings and greatly appreciated!

Coach Barnett, her husband and two daughters live in Edmond, OK.
