Swimming for the Vesper Club in late March 1967, she set a record of 5:21.7 in the 500-yard freestyle at the Middle Atlantic AAU Swimming Championships, also winning the 100-yard freestyle, and the 400-yard freestyle relay and had previously set a AAU District record in the 100-yard breaststroke of 1:12.0 in 1965 and a 200 I.M meet record in 1966.
Preparing for the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Jane trained four hours a day Monday-Friday, and three hours on Saturday, as well as doing pully weights at home.
She attended the Olympic trials at Los Angeles Stadium seeded first in her event.
She was disappointed to finish fourth in the 100-meter freestyle, but still qualified for the event, and the relays.
She also qualified in the trials for the 200-meter freestyle, though it was not one of her better events.
In the finals, she won a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the women's 4×100-meter freestyle relay, together with teammates Linda Gustavson, Sue Pedersen, and Jan Henne.
She and her relay teammates set a new Olympic record of 4:02.5 in the event final.
Individually, she also received a bronze medal for her third-place performance in the women's 200-meter freestyle.
She attended Salem College, in Winston-Salem, South Carolina, beginning in 1969, but swam with the team from 1970-1974, taking off to train for the 1972 Olympics, and training as well for a period with the Wake Forest men's team in the Fall of 1970.
She continued to train with Head Coach George Breen at Vesper Boat Club.
At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, she was also part of the U.S. team that won the gold medal in the women's 4×100-meter freestyle relay, including Sandy Neilson, Jenny Kemp and Shirley Babashoff.
Neilson, Kemp, Barkman and Babashoff set a new world record of 3:55.19 in the final, narrowly edging the East German team.
