Jonathan Law’s girls track team wrapped up an amazing spring season on May 18, with 23 girls qualifying to compete in the SCC Championships.

Several members of the team set personal bests at the SCC meet.

“The girls track team did very well this year, both individually and collectively,” track coach Ms. Corriveau said. ”I’m especially impressed by the many underclassmen who continue to show incredible amounts of dedication and focus as we head off to states on June 1st.”

Team members are proud of their achievements this season. Junior girls track captain Claire Moulton was excited to make SCCs.

“I was very excited and happy that I was able to qualify,” Moulton said. “I was also very proud of the relay team that I qualified with.”

The girls faced many challenges this season, including the rainy weather to start the spring.

“In the beginning of the season the weather was very cold and rainy,” senior captain Elly van Waveren said. “It was hard to get good consistent workouts outside.”

Many freshmen joined the girls track team this year and had very successful seasons.

Freshman Charlotte Baldieri, freshman Molly Croce, junior Hailey Russo and freshman Andrea Crump, ran the 4×100 relay and broke their own personal record with a time of 51.7 seconds.

“I ran the 4×100 relay, and the 100 open,” Baldieri said. “I feel like I saw myself and everyone around me really improve and I think my freshman year set me up really good for my next three years in track.”

The team broke one school record this season – junior Lexi Borecki in the pole vault – and nearly every athlete earned a personal record in at least one event. 

“This track season I ran the 300M hurdles and the 4×400 relay,” freshman Layla Alogna said. “I was able to try out a bunch of different events and find the one that fits best for me”

The team feels they improved greatly, both boys and girls. They feel closer both as friends and as a team. 

“Our team has greatly improved throughout the season,” junior captain Caden Simpson said. “With our boys 4×100 going to Nationals, I would say my teammates have definitely learned to work with each other and support one another.”
