Senior captain Faisal Karzoun is a sprinter for the Jonathan Law boys indoor track and field team.

Karzoun led the team to an incredibly successful season.

“I think the team exceeded expectations this season,” Karzoun said. “We lost a lot of seniors last year, which is always pretty hard to overcome, but we did.”

Karzoun is a strong leader and pushes his teammates to be the best they can be. 

“He is a positive role model and starts practice with stretching and talking to really connect to his teammates,” Assistant Coach Liam Fedigan said. “By him being one of the best it makes people naturally look up to him and want to learn from him and become one of the best up there with him.”

Karzoun puts a lot of work in during the offseason and pushes himself to compete at a high level during the season. 

“What I did to train for the upcoming season was work my hardest in practice,” Karzoun said. “Also anytime I had the time I would try to get to the track.”

Karzoun is an accomplished sprinter but that isn’t his only ability. He is commended for learning on the fly and taking advice from coaches. 

“He is a positive role model and starts practice with stretching and talking to really connect to his teammates,” Fedigan said. “By him being one of the best it makes people naturally look up to him and want to learn from him and become one of the best up there with him.”

Karzoun is always reliable, rarely making mistakes. But even when he makes mistakes, he doesn’t let them get to his head and let it affect his game. 

“Almost every meet I’ve seen him PR and if he doesn’t he pushes people to their best and by him being positive and happy jumping around and hyping people up,” Nash said. “But he can be very serious when he needs to be but funny when necessary.”

Karzoun said he always tries to support the underclassmen. 

“Faisal has helped me improve by giving helpful tips and always supporting me,” sophomore Logan Mullarkey said. “He makes me want to work harder by pushing me to my limits.”
