Redmond High brother-and-sister graduates Dan Sanders and Jenna Sanders competed at the University of Washington Ken Shannon Invitational last Saturday.

Jenna, a current UW senior, notched second place in the 1,500-meter run and posted a new PR at 4:33. She is headed to the Pac 12 Championships this weekend at Drake Stadium at UCLA. Jenna ran at the cross country nationals in the fall.

Dan, a former UW athlete, returned to run the invitational and took first with a new PR in the 400-meter hurdles at 51.97. He set a UW track record.

Jenna and Dan never ran in the same track meet together at Redmond High and were both walk-ons at UW and have had stellar careers. They are both products of Denis Villeneuve’s Redmond High track and cross country programs.

Dan graduated two years ago after competing at nationals and works at Nike as a software engineer programming wearables for sports activities. His goal is to qualify for the USA championships in the 400 hurdles in June. He has been training hard and has already beat his college marks in four consecutive races.
