The Jonathan Law boys outdoor track is gearing up for the 2026 season.

The head coach of the track team is Mr. Beler. Key athletes for the boys team include senior David Lickteig (400M, 800M, 4x400M, 4x800M), senior David Guery (long jump, triple jump), junior Jeremiah Dos Santos (4x100M, 100M, 200M), senior Jack Lefevre (javelin, shot put, discus) and senior Kelden Silvester (110 hurdles).

Silvester said he has multiple goals for this season.  

“My goals for this upcoming season are overall to have fun but also to represent our team and school to the best of our ability,” Silvester said. “I would also like to make States and maybe even Nationals if I can get the right times this season. I expect our team to put in the work to succeed and to push ourselves everyday. Other than that, I just hope we have a good season as a team with no injuries and that we push ourselves as far as possible to improve.” 

David Guery said his expectation is for the team to pick up right where they left off last season and continue their success. 

“Our expectations for this season are to hopefully pick up right where we left off last year,” Guery said. “We look like we have a lot of potential talent, and hopefully this year we will be able to win States and make it to State Opens.”

Lickteig has set both personal goals and team goals to lead his team effectively.

“My personal goal for this season is to make States and get a sub two-minute 800M,” Lickteig said. “But my goal as a captain is to make sure that our team is prepared enough to succeed next year when I’m gone.”

Junior Captain Logan Mullarkey said he has high goals for himself and his team. 

“My goals for this track season are to improve my times and help my team succeed, especially in the 4×100 relay,” Mullarkey said. “I want our relay to be strong, clean with handoffs, and compete at a high level with the goal of winning States. I expect to stay consistent, keep getting better each meet, and do whatever it takes to contribute to a championship-level team.”
