Jonathan Law’s girls track team is starting up its 2024 spring season.

Law has several home meets this season and will look to set as many individual and team records as possible. 

“This outdoor season, I am excited to try new events,” senior Caden Simpson said. “I will be competing in high jump and longer distance races, which will help me get ready for college.” 

Simpson is a captain on the team and holds multiple school records like the 110M hurdles and then 300M hurdles. Simpson has committed to run Division I track at Monmouth University.

Other key members of the girls track team are senior Lexi Borecki, who broke her own school recor din the pole vault in Law’s season-opening meet against North Haven, and senior Claire Moulton.

“I’m most excited for the invitational meets with the 4×800 relay team,” Moulton said. “A goal of mine that I have is making SCCs and States.”

On top of many returning athletes from last season, Law also has many freshmen and sophomores who have joined this year.

“I’m most excited to experience the process of an outdoor meet and cheering on others on the team,” sophomore Fiorella Gargiulo said. “This is my first year doing outdoor track, so I’m excited to run with my friends as the weather gets warmer.”

The team is most excited for their upcoming meet against Foran High School and Platt Tech in what has been dubbed the “Milford City Championship.”

Senior Jessica Brocksom is of Law’s most experience returning throwers.

“For myself, I will be attempting different strategies for throwing and for others I hope to give them advice on form and strategies that will benefit them best,” Brocksom said.

The girls track team has been very successful in recent years and hopes to continue that this season.

“I’m most excited for the meets this season,” junior Olivia Pisacane said. “ The team is always there for each other and I’m excited to get into the season.”
