Alex Rodriguez: What were your goals this season for the team?

Jack Brethauer: My goal for this season for the team was for us to have a lot of qualifiers for States and for team to overall just have a really good record we were able to accomplish.

AR: What were your own personal goals this season?

JB: Coming off an injury, my own personal goals. We’re just to get back to the place that I was in the shape I was in all while still being able to compete at a very high-level at states.

AR: What has been your favorite part about this season?

JB: My favorite part about the season has been the team itself. This is the closest team I’ve ever been on in my whole track career and I think we were all able to have a lot of fun with each other. 

AR: What are you going to do to prepare for your first college season?

JB: Some of the things I’m going to do to prepare for this college season is overall just work really hard during the summer. We have a rigorous training program and I’m just working on my conditioning so I’m able to be in a great position going into my first year of competition.

AR: What are your goals for next season?

JB: My goals for the next season, which would be my first season at the Division I level, is to make all conference and hopefully make the conference podium along with making my team relays and overall having a ton of time drops.
