With the 2024-2025 Law indoor track season recently completed, sophomore Logan Mullarkey Has his eyes set for the future. 

Mullarkey’s work ethic is one of his defining traits during this past season. During practice, he always gives his best effort, constantly pushing himself to his limits. Whether he’s sprinting or enduring intense drills, Mullarkey’s dedication is evident. 

“Logan is a very hard worker during practice and he always tries his hardest,” sophomore teammate Talia Hagan said. “He pushes himself to his limits and always makes sure he puts in 100 percent.”

Mullarkey’s commitment to track has made him a strong leader on the team. Not only does he excel individually, but he also helps those around him. His power to motivate his teammates and keep them focused is one of his greatest strengths.

“Logan motivates us mentally and physically, making sure we’re all putting in the work,” sophomore teammate Alivia Bogert said. “He also makes sure we’re ready mentally.”

Mullarkey puts a good deal of work into the preparation mentally before a race. He emphasized the importance of mental preparation.

“Before a race, I try to block out everything except my lane and my goal, I focus on my breathing, visualize my start and finish, and remind myself of all the work I’ve put in during practice,” Mullarkey said. “I also love to listen to music to build confidence and stay calm, and I always made sure to always eat correctly beforehand.”

A standout moment in Mullarkey’s season came when, after a particularly tough practice, he stayed behind to put in the extra work.

“While others had gone home after the practice ended, Logan stayed after practice to work even more,” junior Molly Croce said. “His hard work paid off for him, and in the following meet, he broke seven seconds in his 55 and had a massive PR.”

As Mullarkey prepares for the two seasons ahead, one thing is clear: his future in track is bright, and he’s ready to tackle every challenge that comes his way.

“I believe that improvement takes time, so I focus on my own progress rather than comparing myself to others,” Mullarkey said. “The key is staying consistent with training and enjoying the journey.”
