The Jonathan Law indoor track teams had a very successful season last year and is looking to continue dominating this year as well. 

Their were four captains named for this indoor track season – seniors JT Nelly, Jack Bretthauer, Caden Simpson, Hailey Russo, and Joey Richardson. 

Throughout the offseason, the captains have used goal-setting and team-building to help them become a better team. 

“As a team captain I have been talking and encouraging the underclassmen to try their best in everything they do,” Bretthauer said. “ My goals are for the team to have great marks at the meet and I want to place at states in the 55M and 300M along with a sub-51 second performance in the 400M.”

Nelly has high expectations for this year’s indoor track team. 

“My expectations are to reach states in all of the events our team competes in,” Nelly said. “I think it is a very reachable goal and good for the whole team to get experience at the states meet with statewide competition.”

Other captains feel the same way about the team’s expectations for the season. 

“My expectations are that a majority of us will make states or SCCs, more of our upperclassmen will make states for our events, and that the team will come together and help each other reach these goals,” Russo said.

The captains are already setting goals and looking forward to the rest of the season.

“We already reached a goal which was to make states for the 4x200M relay,” Russo said. ”Now I want to make states for the 55M dash and help my teammates reach their goal of making states too.”

The team has been to one meet and were very successful during the meet. 

The team has been practicing since November 30 and the work has been paying off as some have already qualified for states. 

“Both guys and girls were very successful with both 4x200M teams qualifying for states and many other athletes in their own independent events qualifying for states and SCCs,” Russo said.
