FEATURED NATIVE AMERICAN Athletes

Janee Kasanavoid

Janee Kasanavoid, a proud Comanche Nation member, isn't just throwing the hammer – she's shattering barriers. This powerhouse athlete became the first Native American woman to medal at the World Athletics Championships, grabbing bronze in 2022.

Janee's journey began in a small Missouri town, but her talent launched her to All-American status at Kansas State before she went pro. Now, she's not just competing, she's inspiring. As a Nike N7 ambassador, Janee champions getting more Indigenous youth involved in sports.

Her message is clear: strength, resilience, and the power to achieve greatness run deep in Native American communities. Janee's not just a medalist, she's a role model paving the way for a generation.
