After a successful inaugural campaign that included a trip to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament, Jennifer Fisher begins her second season as head softball coach at Metro State in 2008-09.

Fisher and the Roadrunners went 32-18 overall in 2007-08, the first season of softball for Metro State since the program was reinstated. Fisher led Metro State to a 26-11 mark, a second-place finish in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's East Division and a trip to the conference tournament. Six players received all-conference honors, including two (Ashley Johnson, Sarah Rusch) to the second team. Additionally, the Roadrunners led the nation in home runs per game. Besides the Roadrunners' exploits on the field, Fisher helped establish a partnership with the Denver West High School softball team off the field, as the Roadrunners helped the girls with life skills, academic and personal pressures. The team received a community engagement award from the NCAA for its efforts.

Fisher came to Metro State after spending eight years as the head coach at Otero Junior College in La Junta, Colo. During Fisher's time at Otero, the Rattlers won seven straight Region IX championships, two district championships and advanced to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national tournament in 2005 and 2006.

Fisher, who had a career record of 355-119, won seven consecutive Region IX Coach of the Year awards. During her time, Otero Junior College averaged over 43 wins a year, including over 50 wins in each of the past three seasons. Fisher's teams were ranked in the nation's top 20 during each of the past six years. During the 2005 season, the Rattlers hit a team record 152 home runs and placed seven starters among the nation's leaders in home runs. The NJCAA's leading home run hitter was from Otero in 2003, 2004 and 2005. During her tenure, Fisher coached seven NJCAA all-Americans and 13 academic all-Americans, as well as 45 all-Region players and 40 all-Region academic selections. In seven of her eight seasons, the Rattlers finished in the top 20 in the NJCAA Academic Team of the Year. Many of Fisher's players went on to play softball at the NCAA Division I or II levels, including UNLV, Louisville, CSU-Pueblo and Mesa State.

Fisher came to Otero in 1998-99, after serving as an assistant coach at Rocky Mountain High School and later Poudre High School for four seasons. She was also a head coach for the Buckaroos summer club softball program for four years, leading her 1997 and 1998 teams to third-place finishes at Colorado's state tournament.

A native of Fort Collins, Colo., Fisher prepped at Rocky Mountain High School, where she played softball, basketball and tennis and was the school's female athlete of the year in 1990. Fisher went on to play college softball at Creighton University for one season, then transferred to Colorado School of Mines. At Mines, she played shortstop and was the Orediggers' team captain in 1994. After finishing her softball career, Fisher transferred to Colorado State University and earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1997.

Fisher and her husband, Joe, have a son, Garrett Wayne, born in October 2000.
