The Rundown
When writing these, I often do a little research beyond what I already know and can find on athletic.net. Searching for Jane, I came across this article about an award and scholarship she just received. To sum up her work in the community and her aspirations:
“Manthei is a junior at Harbor Light Christian Academy. She is hoping to attend a small Christian college and plans to study English and global studies. Upon graduation, Manthei wants to work with an international nonprofit organization with a special interest in working with immigrants to the United States. During her time in high school, Manthei has served on the student council for three years. She is also on the cross country and track teams. She works with an organization called YoungLives that provides support and mentorship for teen mothers. Manthei also volunteers at her church as a child care helper for second and third grade students.”
The Petoskey News article came out on April 27th. Six days later at Bluejay, she ran the 3200m race of her career, dropping a 10:57. She’d always been a long distance specialist, earning a podium spot in 2023’s 3200m and at MIS the prior fall. But this was a whole ‘nother level, one only bested by two other girls in Division 4.
Bringing good deeds and really good running together, Jane Manthei.
