As the track season reaches the halfway point, junior Ryan Nobles has emerged as one of Law’s top runners.

Nobles contributes on the 4×100 relay team as the first leg. He helped the relay team qualify for States.

“I try to show my leadership by simply just helping out people who are new to track or could still use improvements on things like their form, tactic, start, etc.,” Nobles said. “I push myself to contribute to the team by always showing up to the practices and making sure that the practices are productive and that the workouts we are doing are helping me help the team.”

Sophomore sprinter Logan Mullarkey said that Nobles has been a key member of the team.

“Nobles has continually stepped up in situations that we needed him, like the 4×100 relay team with some of our team becoming injured, Ryan was the one to step up and take a spot on the 4×100 and make the best out of it by running multiple new personal bests for our relay team this year,” Mullarkey said. “Nobles likes to make sure we are ready for whatever we’re about to run whether it be the 4×100, 100, 200, or more, he has helped me more than once to get ready and focused before I run.”

Junior Dylan Hurley credited Nobles for being a leader on the team as well.

“Ryan is a leader to me because he stays after practice with me to get those extra reps in which pushes me to be the best I can be,” Hurley said. “He’s fast and a lot of the younger guys are trying to follow in his steps.”

Freshman Nick Vancho said that Nobles helped him adapt as a new kid on the team.

“Ryan nobles shows leadership by encouraging me and helping me progress as a teammate and being more athletic than I was before the season,” Vancho said. “He helps push me by giving me feedback and giving me his honest opinion when he knows I can do better than show.”
