i do the 3 relays (4x1, 4x2, 4x4) high jump and 200. 4x2 and teh 4x1 is my favorite!

go to directathletics.com and go to track meets. look under may of 2007 in california. you'l see HAAL Champ. go under girls f/s relays and youll see how goos we did =D

Well, I'm actually a "fieldee" I guess. lol

I do Discus, Shot, and Jav. Pretty fun ...

Discus is my favorite. Trying to make state this year.

Practices start next week and I'm pretty excited.

I was in track for one day at school....but my knee hurts when I run....and my mom refused to buy me running shoes +_+

i do long distance. our first meet is tuesday of next week!

i'm from GA and i go to brookwood high school. =]

hey cool,
I run varsity track. I run 800m..

yaaaaaayyy track... um i do 800m and that's it... but i do cross country too

yeah i do distance but sprints doesn't sound bad... i wanna try some field events maybe long jump or high jump. but i think that sprinters would be better at that than distance ppl... they have more *can't think of the word* umm.... "bomb" power (?) lolx well they have that type of muscle

haha...

ima sprinter........dont train for it tho.....
jus play soccer.....

ima 16 this yr.....

i ran 12sec for 100m last year....is that bad???

niceeee. more people who do track. this right here is like the most intense sport everr.
letsee.. well first off im only 15 so... yeah my times aren't that good yet.
i usually run the 2. high 24 or low 25 usually. oooh. && i was forced into doing cross country, which i absolutely suck at. i got like.. 18 min? or something like that.




12.0 is about average in my area, so I guess that's decent.

haha is it...??? n they dont train for it as well???

hmm maybe i got alota fat ppl in my area....meh...im in selective school...place for nerds

nonono, they train for it. And I'm including seniors, juniors, and softomores.

haha. Over here, track isn't intense at all...Mainly because the kids are just so fun and my coach just jokes around with them.
And there's also the fact that my school is just terrible and it's not getting any better. XD

18 minutes for Cross Country? That's not bad at all. O____O

I'm doing jav, long jump, triple jump, and I'm probably going to be forced to sprint during the season. -____-'

Holy cow that reminds me I got athletics on the 12 next month and I got 3 weeks to train and another 4 week after that for the next competition then like another 4 weeks if I'm not eliminated by then.

yay track team!!

hahaha. i never train, but i manage to get into 100m hurdles, 400m hurdles, 800m and 1500m. must be a dodgy aths club i'm in then.

i suck at field events, all except triple jump. 5'4'' tall and a personal best of 9.76m.

i do sprints =) coz when i run slow.. i feel the pain.. like all of it .. =p haha. im also in cross country, which ironically, i love more <333

lols sry. what is ur time xD



goodjob =]

man i just got a new personal best =). after coming back from injury and rehabbing like crazy i ended up running a 44.82 in the 400 in practice run yesterday. it felt soo good actually able to go all out even though i wuz wiped out after that run and had to run 3 more =(.

and im going to get timed in 800 meters today. well i a summer meet coming up n i gotta get ready for it =).

go track ppl! lol i do relay, sprints and jumps

LOLS i used to be so active in elementary
after attending highschool i got kinda lazy @_@
hahaha

Oh man ...

Finally, first meet of the season for me is tomorrow.

Ah here is my thread. I used to run the 2 mile and mile, but then my coach swtiched me to running the mile, the 800m, and the 4x4 relay.
Track was the first sport I joined, but I like cross-country more. *shugs* I'm more of a long distance person cause I dont have that "kick" in my sprinting and I have better endurance, but sometimes running such a long distance is kinda boring too.... xD

joonage wanna tell me how to throw better? i just finished track as freshman doing shotput/discus...

wen i try to get air under the discus it goes at like 45 degrees w/ no speed watsoever but wen i try to put "thumb pressure" it just stays flat and doesn't go anywhere...

im from arizona O.o

oh man. season's ending =P then it's CONDTIONING FOR NEXT SEASON ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OVER AGAIN =P

dang i forgot high school track seasons ends early lolz. we just started like 3 weeks ago and we run through the summer. =)

x] same here. xcountry... idk. i feel more free ! i dont think im joining track next year. too many snobish girls

hmm any pole vaulters?!?!

im sad...
last week was league......i guess im officially done with track!

I run track!~
I do the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m.
My times have been depressing this year.
2:48 for 800m. 6:04 for 1600m and 13:something (i forgot) for 3200m.
The only event I PRed in this year was mile and it was only like a 10 second PR. I guess I'm getting old. HAHAHA. Oh well, still got next year to improve.

i ran the best ever this weekend at jayhawks invational =). i ran a 45.79 in the 400 meters to take first and it is my PR. =). 2 morrow is even a harder race going to rugters university 2 morrow morning at 6ish.

my last meet of the season is tomorrow! =) i can't wait. lol i'm doing the 4x400 relay, and possibly the 4x100. my team for 4x100 got like 4th or 5th place last time so we were made alternates. T_T that was my favorite event.

i also went for triple jump! but i made three scratches so i didn't make the finals.

i'm not a highschooler so i don't know how much harder the workouts are.. but yeah i can imagine how much harder it is than middle school. ><

but overall.. track&field is fun (:

Track is fun but very painful. lol. ;]

I run boy's indoor track(High School) but I don't really enjoy it, especially because my coach just kills us everyday. I'm used to it after doing three years, but walking down stairs after a workout is still a challenge( gotta hold on to the rails so I don't fall down lol). I can't run either, first 200m freshman year, I got 33.5s(no spikes). My coach told me that I should quit, but I had nothing else to do so I just continued. Now after three years, my 200m still sucks, 27.8 no spikes :\, but I'm grateful for all the exercise. I must be burning 500 calories each practice, because I always gain weight after the season's over hehe.


I wish I am as talented as some of you guys here :\

ahh..i'm in track too!!!
and i'm also in cross country!!

I LOVE it, but at times i don't..because i'm so lazy.
well anyways. i've pretty much ran almost everything..
in middle school, i did hurdles and sprints, and went up to the 400 then freshman year did 400 and 800 (+mile relay) , sophmore year: 400, 800, mile and mile relay, and this past year, i ran 400, 800, mile relay..

i only have one more year left
i think it would be so cool to run in college, but i don't think i'd be good enough to run...

dont say u wont be good enough to run in college if u keep a good mind and work hard ne thing is possible. i run in college n it is my last season which ends in 3 weeks n if i make it to regionals then my season would be going. other than that its my last n final year of running =(. well i wouldnt trade ne thing in the world for the experence i had with running since i wuz 6 =).

thanks..i've been getting better every year, hoping that i haven't already peaked..
lets say i was to show up, or walk on or whatever you wanna call it, what do you think my chances would be on being able to make it?? would that be harder to make it? at my school i'm not the fastest person, but i'm also not the slowest...

u can walk on but its harder that way. it better that u work ur butt off get better then get scouted by a school like i did but walk on is like 30% chance that you will make it

in 7th grade i loved track.
8th grade i hated it.
I think it was the coaches (in 7th grade= motivational coach, 8th grade= uptight, you better win every track meet so i won't look bad coach) and I only ran 100s all 8th grade season (which i hate, because i can't run 100s faster than 15 seconds >.>).

I like the 4x2 and 200s. But I think in high school, I'm going to be a middle runner, because I also do cross country.
I'm kinda slow, but I'm only 13 so... whatever. I'm a top 10 sprinter in my grade for girls. I don't know how.

my best 200 time was 28 seconds and the closest i've gotten to that time was a high 29 or 30. -_______-
I heard high school track is much better.

I enjoy cross country more because we're all running the same thing and it allows you to go your comfortable pace.

I was on track freshman year. I did long jump, triple jump, 100m, etc. I quit at the end of the season because I had/have problems with my knees and I couldn't balance school because I had absolutely no free time.

I conditioned with the long distance runners and we ran around 3 miles a day. One day we played hide and go seek in one of the neighborhoods by the school. xD

I MIGHT do it again this year [senior], if not maybe in college. If my knees hurt I'll just suck it up!

hurdles just kill my knee don't they?
i just hate those short shorts.
why not just go commando now?
otherwise i hate my weird thighs from track.

looove high jump
and hurdles
