Jalen Torres is a freshman and a sprinter for the Jefferson Morgan track team.

Many students coming up from the middle school or even upper classmen are reluctant to join or try out a new sport.  Jalenwas asked,  if he had any advice for any freshman or new participants that are new to the sport and he said, “If I had to give anyone any advice it would be to pick your favorite event.”

Track is an attentive sport as you need to condition yourself and to be in good shape. Everyone should be in great physical and even mental shape to compete as far as states and even nationals. Track is a great sport that many students who are not already playing baseball, softball, or training for a fall or winter sport.

Students who are coming back the next year for their sport look forward to the new year. “I look forward to getting a lot better at Track this year and running.”

Jalen wishes the rest of the J-M Track Team good luck this season.
