The Jonathan Law boys track team finished its spring season with a record of 9-5.

Law had several impressive wins along the way, but perhaps the most memorable moment from this season was when Law won the Milford City Championship.

“Most importantly, we’re the Milford City Champions, sweeping Foran and Platt Tech,” Head Coach Mr. Beler said.

One of the toughest challenges that the Lawmen faced this year was off the track.

“The toughest challenge the team faced this season was honestly the weather,” Senior Captain David Guery said. “I feel like every meet was either very cold, windy, or raining.” 

Junior Captain Logan Mullarkey said the team had a strong bond that helped them throughout the season.

“What made this season different from past seasons was the level of chemistry and commitment across the team,” Mullarkey said. ”Athletes supported each other more than ever, creating a stronger team environment both during meets and at practice.”

This year’s team was extremely young but filled with underclassmen who are competing at the highest level and making a name for themselves.

“What makes this season different is we have a lot more freshman that are having a really great season and  becoming one of the best on the team,” junior Kayleb Moore said “We don’t have the seniors from last year that were key stars on the team but we have some people who filled in the spots and became their own stars to make of for it and we still place great at meets.”

Many of these young athletes have made a huge impact this, with the relays this year being filled with underclassmen.

“What made this season stand out from past seasons is the diversity in the relays this year because I’ve seen freshmen and sophomores mixed together in them,” freshman Malachi Warren said.

There were several upperclassmen who made an impact this season as well, including senior David Guery, who broke a 20-year-old triple jump record and won the SCC West Championship.

Beler said the Lawmen have the potential to become one of the best teams in the SCC next season.

“The future is bright with the number of young athletes that have stepped up,” Beler said. “Our advice for next year is keep training, keep working, and next year, better things are yet to come for this team.”
