Varsity long distance indoor track runner Elias Tefera was first introduced to Track and Field by his friend. The freshman is currently in preparation for an upcoming competition.
Why do you like Track and Field?
I like running, going fast and hanging out with my friends.
What is your favorite part about your long distance events?
I like trying to improve my time, and when I’m doing the 3200 meter relay and stuff I like working with my friends.
Do you have any upcoming events?
I’m doing the mile and 1000 meters this Saturday in Lynchburg.
What are you doing to prepare?
I’m doing my exercises and workouts. We usually run and do different types of workouts. Then the next day we do stretching and run miles. Then we do workouts again.
Anything else you would like to say about Track and Field?
It’s hard work, but pretty fun.
