The Janes want to let you know about an organization that we support and feel it’s an easy way to change the life of a young man or woman. Redondo XC and Track have created a new way to help those less fortunate. Project Sole Generation is an idea hatched from a conversation between 2008 Redondo Union High School grad and former track and cross country team captain Rachel Baker and head coach Bob Leetch. Please watch this video and donate an old pair of shoes. You may change someone’s life. Check it out here.

Ways you can help:

1. Donate running shoes at Road Runner Sports in Torrance (tell them it’s for Sole Generation) or drop them off at the Redondo Union High School to Coach Bob Leetch (at the track) Mon-Fri, 3-5pm.
2. Purchase jewelry made by indigenous Colombians.
Where: Sea Hawk Bowl, Redondo Union High School, Redondo Beach, Calif.
When: Saturday, February 9th, 10am-2pm
or contact Laurie Baker: (310) 308-1446
3. Make a donation via PayPal here: http://runruhs.com/project-sole-generation/

The Janes took to the streets of Redondo Beach this past Sunday to compete in the Redondo Super Bowl Sunday 10k. This annual crazy-fest is one of the races in the SoCal USATF grand prix road racing series and the USATF SoCal 10k Championships. Kirsten Leetch was the first Jane finishing second overall in a time of 37:27. Lilliana Hernandez was second Jane, running 38:21 for fourth overall, followed by Ingrid Walters (5th, 38:35), Tania Fischer (7th, 39:05) and Darcy Arreola (13th, 40:35). Allyson Estes competed in the Baby Buggy division winning it overall in a time of 41:45. Nathalie Higley (Team Club Ed) was the overall winner finishing in 36:16.

It was a beautiful day for a race and time in the beer garden.
