See Jane Run

“See Jane Run” was the eleventh episode of the second season of Daria (episode number 211). It first aired on MTV on July 20, 1998.

"See Jane Run" was written by Rachelle Romberg.

Summary
In this episode, Jane joins the track team to impress a guy named Evan. The series has by this point established that Jane is an accomplished runner, and it is far less surprise to the audience than to the other characters that Jane exceeds on the team. Her success nets her popularity, which interferes rather rapidly with her friendship with Daria, as does a dispute over Jane's getting a "by" on a math exam as a result of her newfound jock-dom.

Trivia
Trent shows one of his rare flashes of discontent and angst over his musical career.
