If you ask members of the Janji, Run for Another team what running means to them, you will get answers like Sarah Fisher’s: “Running means something different to everyone, whether you use it to be with friends or to accomplish goals. Running for us is definitely a lifestyle; it means everything to us.”
Or Dave Spandorfer’s: “Running’s certainly been one of my great life lessons, one of the blessings in my life.”
All members of the cross country and track and field teams, the Janji runners have been competitive athletes at Washington University.
