The Jonathan Law girls and boys cross country teams both had successful fall seasons. 

Although some of the members of the girls team battled injuries, the team was able to improve as the year progressed. 

“The team never quit and always gave their best effort,” Coach Schulte said. “Something to work on is trying to avoid injuries in the future by coming to the start of the season prepared to run.”  

Senior Claire Moulton had another standout season and earned All-State honors for the third time.

“My favorite moment was states,” Moulton said. “I was very excited when I made All-State, but I was also nervous going into the meet knowing there was a lot of pressure on me. I was trying to make All-State again”

Moulton was named All-State after her 7th place finish at State Championships.

“I think our best moment was states,” junior Alana Pires said “It was a pretty fun day.” 

Pires is captain of the girls team along with Moulton and junior Skye Hamilton. She said she is already excited for next season.

“I’m looking forward to breaking my PR,” Pires said. “As well as seeing everyone improve on their running and times, and the new freshmen that will be joining next year, who we’ll get to train and watch grow.” 

Many of the players this year got their PRs and ran better than they have ever before. 

“I think the season went very well and everyone made a lot of progress,” Moulton said “I am very happy with this season.” 

The boys cross country team had an exciting season as well.

“This is the best the team has ever been over my four years being part of it,” senior Aidan Hope said. “I know that I am going to miss the meets and just about everything.” 

This was Hope’s best cross country season. He dropped his time by over a minute and was a part of varsity the entire season. 

“I think the best moments came from the SCC finals,” Hope said “Watching the finishes I saw a lot of kids run faster and put in more effort than they have for any other race.” 

Hope is captain of the boys team along with seniors Tanner Matchett and Chris Rickard and junior Matt Berendt.
