Janet Demars, whose athletic skills carried her from the camps
of Sargent College to the playing fields of Europe and Australia,
competed and excelled in three different varsity sports in
the early 1950s.
Between the years of 1950-53 she participated in a total of
twelve athletic seasons. Her efforts were instrumental in
the successes of Sargent's basketball, volleyball, and fistball
teams.
However, Janet's involvement in sports did not end upon graduation.
For 20 years she was a first-team member of both the Boston
Field Hockey Association and the Boston Women's Lacrosse Association.
In addition she was a six-year member of the United States
Women's Lacrosse Association. In 1964, and again in 1969,
Janet was selected to the USWLA touring team which competed
in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, and various other locations
throughout the world.
This experience on the playing field provided her with the
necessary knowledge to successfully work on the administrative
level as well. She served as an umpire for both the BFHA and
the USWLA. Janet also was a six-year high school field hockey
coach, and held a similar position on the collegiate level.
