The story goes something like this: Janeé Kassanavoid was boarding a flight to Texas when she overheard a passenger comment “Oh, Joseph Kassanavoid’s sister goes to K-State.”
Joseph was a backup quarterback for Kansas State back in 2009, but suffice to say that his sister has far outdone his exploits in a purple jersey. A native of Lawson, Missouri, and a member of the Comanche Nation, Kassanavoid arrived in Manhattan after a season at Johnson Community College where she was the NJCAA Outdoor champion in hammer throw.
Since then, she’s been showing steady improvement.
