Brooke Dillman is a senior captain and member of Jonathan Law’s 2021 indoor track team. Spending her four years at Law as a sprinter, Dillman competes in the 55 meter race and the 4×200 meter relay during the indoor track season. Last year, with Dillman as second leg, the girls 4×200 meter relay nearly beat the school record, making it to states but narrowly missing the cut for state opens. Dillman also participates in outdoor track during the spring season, where she runs the 100 meter, the open 200 meter, and the 4 by 100 meter relay. She is the anchor of the 4×100. Advocate News Editor Sydney Simpson interviewed Dillman about the upcoming 2021 indoor season. 

Sydney Simpson: What is your role as a captain this year? How is it different from just being a member of the team?

Brooke Dillman: My role as a captain is to keep the team informed on information about the season and keep everyone motivated. I also lead the girls sprinters through our workouts at practice. 

SS: How is the season going to look this year as compared to previous years? 

BD: This season is definitely very different from previous seasons. We are not sure yet about how meets will go and whether we can have them indoors or with other teams. But we will still be practicing so those will look relatively like past years. 

SS: How is conditioning running right now? Do you know when the team will be able to start official practices?

BD: Conditioning is going well right now with just the captains running it. Hopefully we will get more people coming when actual practices start. I believe actual practices will be starting next week. 

SS: What are the team’s goals for the season? What are your goals as an individual?

BD: The team goals this season are to excel in each event and break records from last year. We would also like to stay motivated to run and keep trying through the unusual season. As an individual I would like to get new personal records in all of my events.

SS: What are you and the rest of the team doing to prepare for the season?

BD: The captains have been running conditioning the last few weeks in order to make sure the team stays in shape and ready for the season. The captains have also had online meetings with Beler and relayed any information we get back to the team so everyone can stay updated on how the season will look.
