The University of Missouri has announced the addition of Jenna Kleynerman to its women's tennis roster for the 2025-26 season. Head coach Bianca Turati confirmed that Kleynerman, a freshman from Pleasantville, New York, will join the team in the fall.

"After the recent signing of Michelle Kleynerman, we are excited to announce that her younger sister Jenna is joining our team starting next fall as a freshman," said Turati. "I cannot wait to have Jenna here and start working with her to help our program achieve our goals. She has a strong personality and is very motivated. It will be fun having a pair of siblings on the same team! Welcome to Mizzou, Jenna!"

Jenna Kleynerman served as captain during her senior year at Byram Hills High School, leading her team to league, section, and state championships. During her time with the Bobcats, they secured four league titles and three section and state championships. Individually, she won a doubles state championship as a sophomore and received all-league honors four times along with three selections each for all-section and all-state teams.

On her decision to attend Missouri, Kleynerman stated: "I connected very well with the coaches. I wanted to be a part of a good tennis program, and my sister Michelle is going there for her 5th year. It has always been a dream to be on the same team as her."
