The boys’ track team is directing themselves towards an Unbroken season, focusing on dedication and succeeding, according to Kyle Fitzgerald, sophomore who runs the 800 and 1600 meter run.

“One way the movie reflects [this] is when they are stranded on the boat, they work as a team and push each other to keep going, similar to how we, as a team, push one another to keep improving as a whole,” Fitzgerald said.

Working together is one way the track team is working towards meeting their goal: winning conference as a team and sending as many people to State as possible.

“We keep each other in check by making sure we’re all doing the little things right in things, like stretching to lifting,” Fitzgerald said. “We also remind each other [of] our goals and what we’re working for to keep a good mindset and vision.”

In order to emphasize these goals even more, before each track meet, the team individually writes down goals on how they want to perform, Fitzgerald said.

“I think it’s beneficial because it’s a reminder of where you should be performing in your event after each meet and where you actually are,” Fitzgerald said. “After the meets, we look back at our goals and if we didn’t achieve them, we think about why we didn’t and what we can do differently to achieve it in following meets.”SH_BoysTrack (Small)
