Jonathan Law’s girls cross country team crossed the finish line on their fall season.

Junior captain Jordyn Konlian feels her team made great improvement from the beginning of the season to the end.

“I feel like our team really came together towards the end,” Konlian said. “From beginning to end we did our best every meet and practice. It was a great year overall with our 16-2 record, I honestly can’t wait to see what the team does next year.”

Konlian had a great end to her junior year and hopes to be prepared for next season.

 “As a captain, I have to make sure the girls are prepared for every race,” Konlian said.” This year our team was really close and we had such a strong bond.”

Junior Katie Konareski feels like her season went pretty well.

“As a team we went 14-2 which is one of the best, if not the best in school history,” said Konareski

The team competed October 20 at East Shore Park for the Class M State Championship. The top five girls for Law were: Katie Konareski – 21:18, Jenna Wasserman – 23:19, Kaylee Brotherton – 23:27, Courtney Hanson – 23:35, Lauren Davis- 23:37, Allison Gachi- 24:43.

Sophomore Jenna Wasserman plans to be one of Law’s top runners next year. As she ended her season finishing in second in the state meet on her team.

“I think the season went well because we really worked well communicating as a team,” Wasserman said. “Our Top 7 finishers finished close together which helped us to be better and win meets.”

On October 6, the team competed at The Platt Tech Invitational. The top five girls results for Law were: Katie Konareski –  21:00, Jenna Wasserman – 23:23, Courtney Hanson – 23:50, and Lauren Davis at 24:01.

The results from the race ended with Law winning first place as a team.

Senior captain Maddie Papcun is sad that the season came to an end, as this is her last year on the team.

“I’m sad to leave because I’ve been friends with the girls for three years at this point,” Papcun said “I’ve watched them grow up and for me goodbyes are always hard I suppose.”                               

Papcun is sad to see the season end.

“Cross country teaches me hard work, teamwork, and dedication,” Konlian said. “As a captain it also teaches me to be a role model for the underclassmen as well as taking on responsibilities.”
