The Jonathan Law boys outdoor track team is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, looking to build on last year’s success.

With many returning athletes, the team is determined to keep improving and competing at a high level throughout the season.

One of the biggest accomplishments from last season was the progress made by the throwers. Several new athletes joined the group and worked hard to improve, and their dedication paid off. This year, they are focused on refining their form to achieve even greater distances. 

“The team has many athletes qualified for States and Regional performances,” junior Dylan Hurley said. “Now it’s all about doing better at those meets, hopefully winning and going All-SCC or All-State.”

The 4x400M relay continues to be one of the team’s strongest events. The athletes competing in this race push themselves to the limit, showing their commitment to the team and their desire to win. 

“These athletes perform so well because they are devoted to the team and want to win while giving their all,” junior Ryan Nobles said. “With a strong group of sprinters and hard work in practice, we are all hoping to make a big impact in relay events this season.”

Logan Mullarkey, one of the team’s top sprinters, had an impressive indoor season, running a 6.85 in the 55M dash and qualifying for states. Now, he has his sights set on even bigger goals for outdoor track. 

“For outdoor, my goal is to hit low to mid-11s in the 100M dash and keep improving in the 200M as well,” said Mullarkey

The jumpers are also looking to improve in their respective categories.

“I jump, so my coaches are very critical with my form, and we concentrate on correcting the little things first so by the end of the season I’m fine-tuned and polished,” junior David Guery said. “Small adjustments can make a big difference, and I’m focused on making every jump count”.

As the season progresses, the team is working hard to sharpen their skills in all events, including sprints, distance, long jump, discus, and javelin. 

“We plan to maintain and enhance our competitiveness throughout the season by improving our form for all of our events and doing our best to keep pushing ourselves to higher standards to achieve faster times and farther distances,”  senior Kevin Lembo said.

As the season progresses, everyone is looking to improve their scores and become better athletes. The team is patiently waiting for its season to start and is prepared to make the most of it.
