Michael Peteritis is a junior and a part of the track team at Jefferson Morgan.

Peteritis enjoys this sport, but does it for the fun and exercise. He sees it as a more fun sport rather than a sport to take more seriously.

“I really enjoy getting some good exercise in to keep in shape. The busyness of it makes the time more enjoyable,” explains Peteritis.

Even though Peteritis enjoys the sport and the exercise, he says there is one thing he thinks is a pain about the sport itself.

For some people in any sport, most would say there are positives and negatives. For Peteritis, he dislikes traveling the most.

“Traveling is more of a pain than anything. I would rather be at our own track that is closer to home,” says Peteritis.

Each player and athletes more often than not like to have a goal for that season. There are many different goals depending on the sport and for athlete Peteritis, his training is his accomplishment.

“My training is one thing I focus on more than anything,” says Peteritis. “I also do long distance, but my training for it is what i’d rather be doing. It makes me better at my sport.”

Peteritus has been a part of the track team for a little over a year now and plans to continue being a part of it in the future. With one year of high school remaining, he plans to use it wisely and continue his track record and training.
