Janet Nielsen - Victoria, BC
Janet Nielsen, born in Victoria, BC, began running cross-country at her school and joined a local summer swim club at the age of 9. She went on to excel in these sports eventually joining the National Triathlon Centre as a teenager where she trained beside triathlon stars Simon Whitfield and Peter Reid. This training paid off as Janet went on to represent Canada on the National Triathlon Team as both a Junior and an Under 23 athlete.
While Janet was training she also earned two degrees from the University of Victoria and was awarded “Academic All-Canadian” for her studies and involvement as a member of the Varsity Cross-Country Running team. One of Janet’s next stages in life will be as an elementary school teacher but for now her goals for the upcoming triathlon season include winning major BC triathlon races and being one of the top triathletes in her age group in the world.
Olympic Dairy supports Janet in her pursuit of not only athletic success, but also her scholastic efforts as well.
