Lexi Borecki is a junior member of the outdoor track team and recently broke a school record for pole vault. Advocate staff reporter Kayla Markowitz interviewed Borecki about the recent accomplishment and the outdoor track season.

Kayla Markowitz: How did you along with the rest of the team improve over the season? 

Lexi Borecki: The whole pole vaulting team improved so much this season! We have had so many PRs and we all have learned so much!

KM: How did you feel about breaking a school record? 

LB: When I broke the girls’ record I was so excited!. I worked all season getting better with the little details that I knew would help me reach my goal and It was so awesome to see all my hard work pay off.

KM: How have you grown since freshman year?

LB: Since freshman year I have learned that patience and confidence play a big role in this sport and that I am not going to just improve overnight. I also have a better understanding of how specific this sport is and I have learned how to adjust my workouts to help me reach my goals.

KM: How did SCCs go?

LB: SCCs went really well for me. I placed second and I made the All-SCC Second Team.

KM: What are you hoping to accomplish next season? 

LB: Next season I really hope to continue improving with the little things that I wasn’t able to fix this year. I also hope that by the indoor season next year, I will clear 10 feet and higher.
