A few of the Janes roughed it last week in beautiful Hawaii for a week long summer running camp and get together. Tania Fischer, Kelle Taylor, Amanda Rondash and Sissel Berntsen-Heber stayed in Amanda’s family vacation home along with their kids. Days were filled with long runs, yoga, boat rides and hikes in the hills.

Cami Chapus ran up in the Nike Track Nationals this past Friday up at the historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. Cami competed in the mile where she came in 2nd in a time of 5:07.51. Cami’s high school team (Harvard-Westlake) qualified to run in the meet and finished 10th overall in the team standings.

Cambria was the lone Jane who went to downtown Los Angeles to run the Firecracker 5k and 10k this past Sunday. She came in third place in the 5k and first in the 10k which was run immediately following the finish of the 5k. Vivian Wadeck finished in first in the 5k running 17:13.8.

The Janes are looking for some fast women in the area who are looking to improve their times, run with a group of supportive women and race with a team. Currently, team members are competing on three fronts: road races from 5K to the marathon, track races from 800M to 10,000M, and fall team cross country. All interested parties are encouraged review our individual and team histories. If you feel that you would be able to commit yourself to training and racing with the team, and would contribute on a competitive basis, please fill out our initial screening application.

We do have time qualifications of 18:00 for an open runner and 19:00 for a masters runner to join, though, so please take that into consideration before applying. Of course, you may race longer or shorter distances and be better at those so please let us know about those if the 5k is not your specialty.

Come join the Janes!
