The indoor track season has almost concluded, with the exception of State Opens for those who qualified. 

On Saturday, February 6, the SCC Championships brought many accomplishments from Law athletes including first and second team All-SCC selections. 

“The selections mean a lot to us,” senior captain Thomas Bretthauer said. “It all culminated into a great meet and represents the work we do as a team.” 

As well as the All-SCC selections, Aidan King was the pole vault champion, coming in first place at the meet.

“I could not believe I won,” King said. “Going into the meet, I was not expecting to win, but it gave me a lot of confidence that I was able to get up as high as those guys.” 

This past Thursday, Law competed in the Class M state championships, coming in second place, only a few points becoming state champions. 

“I feel we had higher goals,” sophomore JT Nelly said.  “But I’m proud of our season, and that next year we can reach our goals.” 

Even though the track team didn’t get the trophy they wanted, they are proud of how they performed throughout the season. 

“It was a very successful season,” Coach Beler said. “We broke six school records, had a great showing at states, and all of our athletes showed considerable improvement throughout the season.” 

With many seniors graduating this year, the team will pass the torch to new athletes to lead them next year. 

“We have many people on the team now that will prove themselves in the upcoming seasons,” sophomore Jack Bretthauer said. “We have many sophomores and juniors that qualified for states and we expect more from them in the future.” 

Here’s a list of those athletes and what the events they participated in.
