By Sebastian Beltran – Staff Reporter

Junior Avery Moulton is a captain of the Jonathan Law outdoor track team. Advocate Staff Reporter Sebastian Beltran interviewed Moulton about how she is going to prepare for upcoming CIAC State Tournament. 

Sebastian Beltran : How are you going to prepare for State?

Avery Mouton: To prepare for States, I’m going to push myself in practice and make sure to also give my body some rest. On the weekends when we don’t have practice, I will be training hard myself.

SB: What are your goals for the CIAC meet?

AM: My goal for the CIAC meet is to get placed in the Top 3. I would also like to PR and break 2:30 for my 800M.  

SB: Have you faced any challenges this season, and how did you overcome them?

AM: This season I have faced a few challenges. I suffered with two injuries which caused me to miss practices and meets. I took time off to rest my body and came back stronger to get that PR for my 800M.

SB: What motivates you to keep running during the race?

AM: What motivates me the most is the end result. During races it’s hard to stay in the right mindset and keep running for a long period of time. I always remember the feeling of PR and how it feels to finish a race you worked so hard in.

SB: What’s the most memorable race you’ve run so far?

AM: The most memorable race I ran was the first race this season. In the 4x800M relay, we were losing by 200M. I was the anchor and was able to beat the girl by 150M. I remembered pushing myself, getting cheered on, and qualifying for States and SCCs.
