The Jonathan Law track team hosted its annual Lip Sync Battle on January 23.

The Lip Sync Battle is an annual fundraiser held after the holiday season. It is a fun way to get not only the track kids involved, but kids who may not run track as well. 

“This is a great way to get everyone involved and is great for the track kids because it pays for the banquet and part of the apparel,” head coach Mr. Beler said.

There are usually about 10-12 teams that participate in the Lip Sync Battle every year, and that includes some teachers who also get involved. 

“The entire team is required to play a role in the Lip Sync Battle whether it’s performing, helping backstage, or doing the lights,” Beler said.

The Lip Sync Battle helped the track team together as a group, and individually, it brought them together to make this event work out perfectly. 

Although the Lip Sync Battle is a great way to bring the Law Community together there is also a $150 cash prize if you win. 

“Not only do you have to run with your partners on the track, throw your weights, or jump your events you have to learn to shake it out there as well,” Beler said. 

The winners of the Lip Sync Battle this year were “The Shakira Babes.”

“It was great to win, and really exciting because we took it more like a joke and then when we won it felt good, especially since we had so much fun,” junior Midori Hughes said.

The runners-up were were last year’s champions, the JL Backstreet Boys. 

“It was pretty cool to win (last year) because we all wanted to have fun and I thought we put on a pretty good show,” senior Mike Loschiavo said.

Beler and the indoor track team as a whole were amazed by the turnout this year with an estimated 400 people in the audience.
