Athlete of the week: Timmy Sevcik

Cross Country

Senior Timmy Sevcik finished second at the metro meet.

How’s the season going?

It’s been going really well. The team has been training really hard, and we’re all competing.

How are you preparing for a state title run?

We’ve got two more weeks of hard training left before we start to taper, so we’re really pushing ourselves now, and we’ll back off at the end of the season to be ready for State.

How has the rivalry between you and the other top runners fueled you?              

We’ve had a really good rivalry so far this year between Jonathon Smith, Jared Failor and I. We’ve all won at least one meet so far, and we all really push each other and look to get better for the team.

What are your collegiate running plans?

I’m not sure exactly where I want to go, but wherever it is I plan to run cross country and track. I’m trying to find the right blend of athletics and academics.
