BTOC (Best Team on Campus)

Along with the warm weather and fun that come with spring term, my favorite part of the term is often track season. This winter, I sprained my ACL mid-swim season, leaving me with a growing excitement for track. Each year, my community through track has grown and allowed me to connect with friends I would have never met otherwise.

From questionable music choices to falling over hurdles during warmup, I walk into practice each day not knowing what will happen next. The bond between teammates is not limited to jokes and laughter, but includes the palpable support of cheers as you run down the homestretch of the track. This season is my third with Groton track and field, and in that time, I have seen students come and go, but the atmosphere of energy and support has been a constant. A truth that I remind myself to appreciate every day!
