Jonathan Law’s girls track team wrapped up its spring season on a good note.

Senior captain Samantha Franzman believes that the team had a great year.

“My goals for the end of outdoor are to win the rest of our meets and to have as many girls qualify for states,” Franzman said. “I’m going to miss all the girls a lot, especially my distance girls. We’ve gotten so close as a team and I’m going to miss the team camaraderie.”

Senior captain Abby Bernstein is excited to finish off the season as this was her last year doing track.

“The goals for the end of the season is for all the girls to do well at states,” Bernstein said.

Junior Lily Baldieri set some goals for the end of the season and for next year.

“My goals for the end of outdoor is to make states with my 4×400 team, because we are really close,” Baldieri said. “I also I hope to  get a 8’6” in pole vault by the end of the season.” 

The team competed May 14 at East Sectionals in New Haven. The top five girls results for Law were Katelyn Konareski in the 800M with a time of 2:25 , Samantha Franzman in the 1600M with a time of 6:12, Sydney Simpson in the 100M with a time of 13.73, Lily Balderi in the 300M Hurdles with a time of 54:53 and Brooke Dillman in the 200M with a time of 28:78.

Sophomore Katelyn Konareski plans to end her season at State Opens and to be even better than next year.

”By the end of the season our goal for the 4×8 is for our 4×8 team to make it to opens,” Konareski said. ”Last year we were a couple seconds short but I’m sure we could get it this year based off of our hard work and dedication towards the team.”

On May 14, the team competed at East Sectionals in New Haven. The girls 4×800 finished 5th. The girls team consisted of two freshman, Shelby Green and Allison Gachi, and two sophomores, Katie Konareski and Hannah Rascoll, and they finished with a time of 10:27.85.

Rascoll said she has multiple goals for states.

“I want to break the 4×8 record again as a team and drop my time in the mile for the states qualifying meet,” Rascoll said.
