Janke set meet records in both the 1,600-meter event and the 3,200 at the 2019 Class 3A Outdoor state meet, clocking national Top 10 rankings among prep competitors last spring in both events. She is a two-time Class 3A state cross country champion and took fourth at the NXN Northwest Regional Championships last fall.
