Since the start of the season, the Jonathan Law golf team has been working hard to prepare for each match on the schedule. Coaches Mr. Koorejian and Mr. Maurutis have helped the Law golfers improve their game and stay motivated to compete. One athlete has taken the course by storm and has improved each and every round. That golfer is sophomore Jaden Archuleta. Archuleta has consistently scored in the 40s to help the Lawmen stand out this spring.

Archuleta’s teammates have followed his lead and have grown into incredible golfers themselves. Senior Anthony Fino drained a 15-foot put on the ninth hole to win the match for Law against Sheehan on May 3. On May 4, Dylan Soule shot a team-low of 38 to win a match against North Haven. The next day, Law beat Career High School at Alling Memorial Golf Course in New Haven. Archuleta shot a 41, and Peter Savoie shot a 44.

Overall, the Lawmen are 7-1 on the season, and they are looking to defeat rival Foran on Wednesday, May 11. Advocate Staff Reporter Harrison Fisher interviewed Archuleta about the season so far.

Harrison Fisher: How do you think the progress of the team has been so far this season?

Jaden Archuleta: I think as a team we have grown so much and we are still going to grow throughout the season. 

HF: What was your reaction when Anthony Fino won the match for Law against Sheehan on that 15-foot put he made?

JA: I was very relieved when I saw that putt drop.  I was very hyped knowing that this match was close and that the putt could seal the deal for us.

HF: What are your goals going forward to help the team?

JA: My goals are for our 1-4 starting lineup to all be shooting below 50 and in the mid 40s. 

HF: How do you think you have evolved into a leader yourself? What will you do to keep everyone on the team motivated?  

JA: I think the motivation will come from the amount of heart and pride we have to play golf for Jonathan Law.  I think we all want to see all of our hard work and dedication pay off. 

HF: What is one course that you really want to play this season?

JA: I would love to play Racebrook Country Club in Orange, CT.  I am a member there and I know both courses very well.
