Senior Liam Fedigan is the captain of the Jonathan Law boys cross country team. On October 29, Fedigan finished second at the Class M State Cross Country Meet and earned All-State honors. Advocate Entertainment Editor Truman Martin interviewed Fedigan about his final cross country season.

Truman Martin: How did the season go for the team?

Liam Fedigan: The season has been a success so far. All the guys are putting in the work to get better and better. We are now in championship season so there are higher and higher stakes. We need to keep a positive attitude and continue the great season we are having.

TM: What do you want to achieve for the rest of the season?

LF: Some things I want to achieve for the rest of the season are going as far as possible. New Englands is the goal and I’m hungry for it. More importantly I want to soak up everything before the season ends. This is my last year of high school racing before I go onto college racing.

TM: How does it feel that you are almost done with your high school career?

LF: It feels like I was just a freshman starting out for the first time. So I really want to cherish the rest of the season and finish strong and leave a positive legacy behind me.

TM: What motivates you to do better?

LF: My competitive edge motivates me to do better as well as my coaches and teammates. It is second nature to me, every run I go on and every time I am on the line for a race my competitive side comes out. I believe that there is always room to improve and my overall goal is to be the best version of myself that I can possibly be on and off the course.

TM: What is your favorite thing about cross country?

LF: My favorite thing about cross country is the team aspect of the sport. I love it when my teammates run well and are satisfied at the end of their race. Harrison Fisher, a sophomore on the team is a perfect example. At the SCC race (10/19/22) he raced a PR coming in 27:10 which is a PR by almost a minute and a half for him. I was beyond excited for him and he was thrilled with his performance. It’s moments like these that you have to sit back and just enjoy. These are the moments I enjoy most. I thrive on seeing my teammates succeed and go beyond the limits.
