Faisal Karzoun is one of the captains of the Law boys outdoor track team. Advocate Staff Reporter Sebastian Beltran interviewed Karzoun about the season.
Sebastian Beltran: Which events are you planning to compete in this season?
Faisal Karzoun: I’m gearing up for an intense and rewarding season as I plan to compete in the 100M, 200M, and 400M dashes. In addition to these individual events, I’m also looking forward to running on the relay teams, though we still have to wait for the time trials to determine who will make it. There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding the relay teams, but I’m confident that my hard work in practice will prepare me to compete at my best.
SB: What are your personal goals or records you hope to achieve?
FK: One of my main goals this season is to make it to the state openers. I know it won’t be easy and it will require all my effort and discipline to achieve it. But I believe in this, and I’m working hard, staying consistent. I’m doing the work necessary to achieve it, no matter how difficult it may be.
SB: How have you been training to prepare for the season?
FK: It’s going to take some work, but I think if I can work my hardest at practice and listen to the coaches I can do it. I have been trying to get to the track as much as I can. I am also coming off a successful indoor season, so that will definitely help me.
SB: What are the biggest challenges you expect to face this season?
FK: There is definitely lots of competition this year on the team. I love having competition because it truly does motivate me. But one of the biggest challenges is making a relay team. That will be a challenge for everyone considering the competition.
SB: Which meets or competitions are you most excited about?
FK: I’m very excited for the first competition of the season, which will be at home. I’m really looking forward to returning to the outdoor season. It will be a very competitive season, and I hope to do well this year. It will be my last year, and I will do my best to achieve my goals.
