Law junior Avery Moulton recently broke the 600 meter indoor track school record which was held previously by 2023 graduate Eira Rodriguez. Advocate News Editor interviewed Moulton on her recent accomplishment. 

Molly Lynch: How does it feel breaking the record? 

Avery Moulton: Beating the school record has definitely boosted my confidence. I have felt like a stronger runner and I feel I can accomplish so much more just from this one.

ML: What motivated you to accomplish such an achievement?

AM: Nothing in particular motivates me but the goal. I have had the goal since the end of last season and I pushed myself to get it. Knowing I had a great group of people surrounding me helping me get better and helping me achieve this goal made me more confident to beating the school record.

ML: How did you train leading up to it? 

AM: I trained by pushing myself on and off the track. I would run on the off season, run on off days, and during practices I would push myself very hard. I made sure to take care of my body and stay consistent with my practicing.

ML: Who helped you achieve it? 

AM: The people who helped me achieve this goal the most were definitely my coaches, teammates, and parents. Specifically (Law alum) Liam Fedigan, who would time me during the meet and tell me to go faster or stay where I am really helped me get to where I wanted to be. My teammates always push me in practice by running behind me and pushing me to go faster. My parents made sure they would take me to every practice because they knew how much I wanted this goal.

ML: What goals are you working toward now?

AM: Some goals I am working on now are to beat my own individual time and get the school record again in these upcoming meets. Another goal of mine is to beat the school record for our SMR relay team. Lastly, I would like to make State Opens in my 600.
