It had been a whole year since the Jonathan Law indoor track team had a regular season. Thanks to the hard work and preparation of Law’s coaching staff, the indoor track team returned this winter to take its rightful place at the top of the SCC. Now, in 2022, the Law track team is bigger than ever. There are more jumpers, hurdlers, sprinters, and pole vaulters than ever before. Head coach Mr. Beler has the Nation of Domination back in shape and ready to compete. Their hard work and winning attitude have been on display at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven and at Southern Connecticut State University on a regular basis. Advocate Staff Reporter Harrison Fisher interviewed Beler about this year’s indoor season and the upcoming outdoor track season.

Harrison Fisher: Coach Beler, what was your favorite indoor track moment this year? 

Coach Beler: My favorite thing was watching all of our athletes improve. We had 98% of our athletes show significant improvement from the beginning of the season to the end.  That’s impressive.

HF: There has been a lot of great indoor track action.  What did you think led you to all of the success you have had as a team? 

CB: We are a family, and when you have the support of a family great things can happen.

HF: Let’s go back to the SCC Championship. Describe how excited you were when Aiden King became the pole vaulting champion for Law?

CB: It was great seeing Aiden capture the SCC Championship. He is a hard worker and a tremendous leader. It was great to see all of his dedication to the sport pay off.

HF: I know Assistant Coach Ms. Corriveau has been an amazing assistant coach to you for years. How do you think Coach Corriveau will do in her future role as the girls outdoor track coach?

CB: I think she will do an amazing job. She is a very dedicated coach who puts in a great deal of time developing workouts. She has done a tremendous job as an assistant, and she will do an outstanding job as the head coach.

HF: What is your goal for outdoor track? Is it the same as your goal for indoor track?

CB: Nothing changes for Law track. One team, one family! The goal is to win every day.
