FROM Palaro standout to UAAP sensation.

Rookie Karen Janario took the premier collegiate league by storm when she garnered four gold medals for University of Santo Tomas including her favorite sprints events.

The 16-year-old Janario, who hails from Palo, Leyte and survived Supertyphoon “Yolanda” in 2013, won the 100-meter and 200m dashes, 100m hurdles and helped the Tigers clinch the 4x100m relay gold.

“I prayed hard before the events,” said Janario. “That’s why I felt I wasn’t the one doing it but I’m guided by God out there.”
