The 2022 season for the Jonathan Law boys cross country team was one for the ages. 

This season was filled with new PRs and a bunch of new experiences for all of the runners.

“Some goals I set for myself in the beginning of the year was to improve as a leader and run faster,” senior captain Liam Fedigan said.  “I was able to keep the team together throughout the season.”

Fedigan, along with all of the other athletes, couldn’t have done it without putting their bodies through loads of hard work and practice. 

“Our practices consisted of usually about 20-25 miles per week which included a long five to six mile run after a meet,” senior Rishabh Nair said.

Practices help some of these students-athletes going throughout the season 

“Practices got really hard at times and there were times that I didn’t think I could make it,” sophomore Dalton Evans said. “But, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger so I kept pushing.”

This season was filled with loads of students athletes beating their own PR’s. 

“I wanted to break 20 minutes in a 5K going into the season,” senior captain Dallas Fasanella said. “ I ended up breaking 19 minutes with a time of 18:53, so over all I exceeded my expectations.”

One of the biggest highlights from this season was the performance of Fedigan, who went All-State in his final high school campaign. This is his second time going All-State in his cross country career. 

Members of the team always have a great time running and competing between not just the other schools, but with each other. 

“During practices, I was always looking forwards to run and hang out with my friends,” senior Jake Ackley said.

Having a good time was always on their mind and having parents supporting their kids made it a while lot better.

“Theres a lot of excitement while running,” junior Tanner Matchett said. “Having parents screaming at you to run faster and catch the next person was good motivation.”

Fedigan said he is sad to see his high school career come to a close, but he is excited to run in college next year.

“Now I have to set goals for next year for colligate running,” Fedigan said.  “I will also be setting goals for Law as I will be coming to a lot of meets and will still hold a part in Law cross country.”
