Law’s boys track team is back competing for the first time in almost two years.

COVID-19 cut the spring season last year, but this year the CIAC worked hard to make sure high schools could have safe practices and meets, even with spectators.

So far this spring, Law has faced Sheehan, Shelton, and Hand in dual meets, setting many personal bests and qualifying for states in several events.

“The (Sheehan) meet went well,” Beler said. “We went up against a very good Sheehan team, and any time you can score as many points against Sheehan is a good day. For not having a track meet in two years I was very happy with the performances.”

Captain Jackson Warters said the team is excited and motivated for the season.

“Practices are going really well, the team is being really productive and it’s really great seeing everyone out and about again,” Warters said. “With everything going on, we’re really lucky to have everyone out here like a normal season again, especially since we missed last season.” 

Other members of the boys track team shared their goals and expectations as well.

“My goal for the season is to go all-state in the 100 meter and the 200 meter,”  sophomore Shane Pritchard said.

Sophomore Gabe Garnett is one of the team’s jumpers.

“I’m just looking to make states for the long jump this season,” Garnett said.

Freshman Samuel Strate is excited to be a part of the team.

“My goal is to get faster and to improve,” Strate said.
