By Jess Owens – Entertainment Editor

Senior Hannah Rascoll has been on the Law swim team for four years. All she wants for her team this season is for everyone to keep positive attitudes and stay motivated despite the impact of COVID-19.  Advocate Entertainment Editor Jess Owens interviewed Rascoll about the upcoming season.

Jess Owens: What are you most looking forward to during this season?

Hannah Rascoll: I’m looking forward to meeting all of the new swimmers and hopefully having a somewhat normal season.

JO: What are your plans for this season?

HR: My plans are to keep the season going as long as possible and make it to states and SCCs.

JO: Does playing without fans this season affect you? If so, why?

HR: Swimming without fans definitely makes it harder to be motivated during a race, since normally that is what hypes everyone up.

JO: How have the COVID-19 restrictions affected you so far this season?

HR: COVID-19 has changed a lot of things. For a while, we were swimming in cohorts and we couldn’t even see the whole team together, but thankfully that’s over. We also have to have virtual meets which isn’t ideal but we are working our hardest around COVID.

JO: This being your last season, what is a goal you are trying to achieve?

HR: My goal is to get new PRs and be able to make it to states and SCCs as well as have a team record even better than last year’s.
