The Jonathan Law boys outdoor track team season is coming to a successful end.
This season, athletes from Law have been setting multiple personal records as well as qualifying for states in several events.
JT Nelly, Gabe Garnett, Jack Bretthauer, and Shane Pritchard qualified for New Balance Nationals in the 4×100 This will take place on June 15 in Philadelphia.
Athletes have a large variety of events they can compete in such as sprints, long distance, long and high jump, pole vault and more.
Head coach Beler had goals set for the whole team this season.
“The goal of every track team is to win a division and state championship,” Beler said. “The goal for every athlete is to win every day, which means the goal is to get a personal record every meet.”
The team has also set individual goals to achieve throughout the season.
“One of my goals was to see my mile time get better,” senior Jake Ackley said. “But my overall goal throughout the season was to break five minutes on my mile.”
Many captains have been able to see growth and improvement in younger athletes.
“We have promising underclassmen getting better and better throughout the season,” Nelly said. “I am excited to see what the future of this team will look like.”
Garnett shared his favorite part of track.
“My favorite part about track is definitely running and winning of course,” Garnett said. “But what leaves the biggest impact on me is the friends I have gained from the sport and the memories I have made with all of them.”
