The Jonathan Law boys cross country season has recently come to an end. 

“The season was successful and was capped by winning the Road Runners City Championship,” Head Coach Beler said. “We defeated Foran by one point, (senior) David Licktieg became the two-time city champion and along with (junior)Matt Montini we finished first and second place at the meet.”

The Lawmen runners had a very successful season, and many positives emerged from it. 

“In my opinion, the season went very well, we had a great team and almost everybody got personal bests, we won the Milford championships by one point due to a couple of guys really pushing at the end of the race and beating people by a few seconds,” Montini said. “And I think that really shows what kind of team we were this year.”

Beler has confidence in his runners and has had many goals that we accomplished.

“There were a lot of personal records set, and we did well during our meets,” sophomore Aaryan Doshi said. “Personally, I did very well, I kept getting better each meet, and I set a new PR, which I am very happy with.”

Captain Lickteig has great motivation to win. He shows up to every practice ready to run.

“I mostly doubt myself when it comes to being a leader, but my team has let me know in many ways that I did a good job,” Lickteig said. “I was always real with everyone, and I was told by some teammates that they liked how human I was, so I was easy to work with, it really gave me confirmation that I was doing fine.”

Next year, runners are hoping to have another promising season. 

“I think that next year the team can improve by continuing to do everything we did this year,” Montini said. “We had a great team this year and if we keep it up we should be good next year as well.”

Many runners accomplished multiple personal records and placements in races.

“The final push to win was when (senior) Keldon Silvestor held off the Foran runner by 0.5 seconds,” Beler said. “Freshman Stanley Jiang lost his shoe during the race but still completed the course and took 7th place, and  he took 6th place at the Freshman SCC Championships.”
