reported that SafeSport’s investigation concluded that Babington engaged in sexual misconduct with two minor girls and unwanted physical misconduct with a female collegiate athlete he coached. The incidents occurred from the mid-1970s to the 1990s.
“I have acknowledged some merit in some of the allegations in this case and have expressed my regrets that anything occurred,”Jennings worked with Babington starting in her teen years. In 1978, as a 17-year-old, she ran the Boston Marathon without a number, defying Babington’s wishes. According to a 2012, after that Boston Marathon, Jennings and Babington stopped working together for a decade.
