Q & A with Janae
Why did you choose Dartmouth?
I really liked the chill atmosphere - people work hard, but they also play hard. On my visit my senior year everyone was really nice and they were excited to have me there. The way everyone just seemed to get along attracted me here.
How long have you been competing in track and what got you interested?
I've been competing in track since 7th grade, I got interested because when I was little people told me I was fast and I should try track.
Tell me something interesting about you that might come as a surprise to your teammates.
I'm really lazy. Also I was on an Envirothon team in high school. Envirothon is a group where you study different parts of the enviroment and then compete by taking tests on what you know. As a result of being on that team I can tell you almost anything you need to know about Pennsylvania soil.
What are your future plans, if any?
I plan on majoring in a PreHealth field. I'd like to become a surgeon and then retire and become a librarian.
What extra curricular activities are you involved in on campus?
I'm involved in EMT and DCERT.
