Track and Field

[PumaPride77]

Well is anyone else doing track this year? I'm doing 300 hurdles and my coach keeps putting me at 4X400 even though i suck at it. It's a pretty cool sport, doesn't get much credit at my school.

[Aramis]

I did track as a high school freshman and sophomore but called it quits for this year as a junior. I did the 800, hurdles, and long jump.

If you do both cross-country and track in one year (both takes place during different times of the school year), it gets you into really good shape.

[pikester]

I'm in shotput, javelin and discus... none of which i've done ever before in my life.

It will be good times.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i run the 400 and 4x400, and am in the process of throwing javelin and discus, fun stuff.

[PumaPride77]

You guys are lucky, at my highschool javelin isn't even an event we can do... only in decathlons and stuff like that.

not bad, youll be in the 14s this year probably

[Kayetan]

I've done it for the past 5 years and I kinda got sick of it so I'm not doin it anymore.

[CrazyDrummer4562]

I run the 100 and 200 at my school. Got first last wednesday at a meet and PR'd the 100 at 12.8. Not bad for my first year doing it.

[dancetomdance182]

I do shot and disc. I had one meet. I did horrible, aiming to get better.

[nitzguy]

i did the 3200 back in the day. i only ran one year(Sr.). my Pr was 10:00. i wish i had done it my previous years

[simplephotographinthesun]

long distance is brutal, i see people guys running like 9:10s and i have the utmost respect for them.

[nitzguy]

i agree. i ran against Dathan Ritzenhien. he ran a 8:44 2 mile....he is now running professional, getting lapped by him was awsome

[LegionsofMarduk]

I ran track my freshman year in high school. I ran the 200, 800 and 4X800 at every meet. Then sometimes I would also run the 100 and 4X200. I was the best at the 800. By the end of the season my time was about 2:06.

[pixiesfanyo]

3200

and the 800

PRs are 9:40 and 2:03.

[whatduffhuck7]

pole vault and hurdles take the most pract in track.

[PumaPride77]

you have 4X200 at your school?

[albinoblacksheep]

Just came back from a track meet (it wasnt the big tournament...just an invitational, first meet of the season)

I signed up for 100, 110 hurdles , highjump and the 4x100

they ended up giving me shot and discus as well (which ive never done before, haha so i got quite bad results on those)

I did the 100 in 12.2 seconds...sucked at hurdles (it was raining like mad and i didnt have any spikes...) I did 1.70 in highjump and we came 2nd in the relay.
Not too bad, our school came in 2nd. The conditions were horrible though, heavy rain on the first day and friggin hailstorm on the 2nd

[simplephotographinthesun]

you have 4X200 at your school?

we have that for indoor track

[PumaPride77]

we have that for indoor track

indoor track!?!?

[IsItLuck?]

400m hurdles. That event tires the **** out of you.

[Against Miik!]

This kid at my school was runninh like 4:10 miles in middle school. It was sick. But he ran to much and actually messed up his foot and he can never run again.

[simplephotographinthesun]

indoor track!?!?

the track is 200m instead of 400m

instead of the 800 we have the 600. throw in the 1000. instead of a 400 we have a 300. 4x200 relay + 4x400 relay (4x800 during championship meets). no disc, jav, or triple jump. instead of a 100m sprint we have a 55m race. same with hurdles, 55m as opposed to 110m.

that sucks

[nitzguy]

indoor sucks, out side is better, there is more strategery

[Jed_The_Avenger]

I run the 3200. I ran it on saturday, and I got lapped as I started my 8th lap, but the gay timekeepers pulled me off and said I was done, then disqualified me

[dancetomdance182]

I could throw the indoor shot further than the outdoor shot.

[pixiesfanyo]

Our 4x800 team ran a 7:59 on Saturday.

We are currently ranked # 1 in our state..

(Pennsylvania)

[paco999]

^^^ what school?

I run 200 (the thing I do the best 27.2) I'm trying to go for less time in this event.
200 relay (indoor only)
100
100 relay
400 (wich I suck at cause it can't pase myself)
800

It's my first year tho I've liked outdoor more than indoor.

The only fun thing about indoor is one time that we went to Slippery Rock University (in Butler County (PA)) and played butt ball in the rackett ball court.
Or the pizza eating contests we had. Or the fact that we could run in the hallways or the school.

[pixiesfanyo]

State College

[paco999]

^^^ That's cool
I'm just sitting here in computer class waiting for the meet today against our rival school West Allegheny.

Hope we win!!!!!!

[simplephotographinthesun]

indoor > outdoor

[blue3]

My class is doing track and field right now for gym class. We've only done shotput and discuss though

[nitzguy]

3200

and the 800

PRs are 9:40 and 2:03.
how can you run a 9:40 3200 and a 2:03 for the 800. thats just wacky. i can run that. the 800 that is.

[paco999]

I wish I did track in Gym instead of ping pong, I can't believe that they actually make us change of ping pong.

But, oh well I still have to do it after school.
Today was hard we did 400 repeats, OMG my calves are killing me.

I've seen people at high school level get those times before, if the dude is telling the truth, then that means he always runs those events in states and that he's pretty sick at track.

[simplephotographinthesun]

my school is looking to be 2-4 this year, we havent had a winning record in a very long time :upset:

1st meet: L 80-55 :upset:

we get killed almost all the time since we have no triple jumpers or pole vaulters. we are 0-3 :(

[whatduffhuck7]

pole vault and hurdles take so much practice it sucks. i do hurdles. and i run for 1 1/2 hours and pract hurdles for another hour every day.

[PumaPride77]

when is your guys' track season over? mine's on the 29th or 30th, something like that.

[simplephotographinthesun]

we go into late may

i get that he ran a 9:40, be if he can run that he hasto be able to run faster than a 2:00 800.

[SoundOfMyWayOut]

At our school we do a 2 day track meet and your results count for about 15% of your final mark in phys ed, it's a fun time, you run a little bit and hang out with your friends for the rest of the time. I run the 100m, 200, 400, 1500 and i do the high jump as well.

[The Stapler]

Did indoor this year and next year I'm going to do outdoor instead of Lacrosse.

In winter league I ran the 55, 4x2 and 4x4 on some occasions.

Gotta love those relays :thumb:

[trev913]

We've got a very nice track and field team at our school. We've been Conference and District Champs for every year since 99. We placed first at our Conference meet this year in boys V and JV and second at girls V and first at girls JV. So we're pretty good. Still looking for a state title though.

[Endless Obsession]

in doin hurdles also
110- 16.3
300- 44.7

by the way, this was my times last year, as a sophmore.

Thats very good for the 110. We have a senior at our school whos PR is like 15.5 but hes also a senior. We have a very good track team.

Do u by any chance go to Orange high school?

Nope. IDK where that's at

Well, maybe, it really depends on the runner I know long distance runners that have higher times than me on the 800 and 400's but they got really good times on the mile and 2-mile. For some ppl the longer they run the better they do and other ppl are vise-versa.

[paco999]

I got better times now on my 200 (26.2)
and I got 58.0 on my 400. :thumb:

I'm still working on my 800 (2:25) but now I recovered from the messed up tendon in my knee. So I'm back running again, that injury just made me wanna go all out on meets.


/sry for double post.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i havent broken 60 in the 400 in almost a year :upset:

[BassNewb]

This year I'm a freshman and the change from the middle school discuses to high school discuses is really challenging for some reason with me. Last year I threw 105' (not too bad) but this year am only throwing 70's

[Endless Obsession]

Nope. IDK where that's at

Cause right now we are doing a ping-pong, pool, air hockey, and foosball unit in gym and we still have to get changed for it.

Im not doing it this year... Im a freshman, but I have a lot of friends on the team, so Ive gone to the meets, and it looks pretty awesome so im definately doing it next year. And a lot of people at my school would love to do the 4 400, it gets all the attention, its the most watched event.

[PumaPride77]

yeah that's what it was like last year for our team, because they were really good (3:22), but this year every kid that was on the 4X400 last year either moved or graduated, so we suck again.

3:22 wrecks house, my 4x400 team (and the previous ones going back many years at my school) have had trouble breaking 4:00, we're awful at relays :upset:

we did run 4:06 in the first meet, hopefully we'll break 4 someday :(

[paco999]

Wow, and to think my school was the only school dumb enough to do that. Well, the only differance is that my school probably couln't afford pool or air hocky tables, I think they already spend a ton of money in those rusted old ping-pong tables.

same here

[IsItLuck?]

track ends on thursday for me. It went by fasttt

[paco999]

^^^ yea that sucks, I still got like two weeks left in the regular season. But, I've been running like six months including both seasons, indoor and outdoor. But yea it eventually has to end. Good thing I still got my senior year.

[pikester]

we have track into late may/early june (if you happen to qualify for provincials).

[paco999]

Yea, same here only that its states. And you have to be outstandingly good to even make it to regionals, as for states, those people are the one getting all those full ride scholarships to Notre Dame, Penn State, UCLA, etc.

[Jam2Me]

I participate in indoor and outdoor track. I'm a junior. I've been doing hurdles since freshman year.

My PR's so far:
110HH - 15.1
300IH - 41.3

My goal in highschool is to break 40 in the 300IHs and hit a low 14 in 110HHs.
The funny thing is that I'm not even the best hurdler on my team...

I'm going to be doing Cross Country this upcoming season for my senior year, it should be fun since all my friends are on the team and I have a good build for distance running although I've never done it. I have the whole summer ahead to train and get in shape, I'm looking forward to it.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i'm in a bit of a dilemma, my coach has made an ultimatum to me because he's a prick

run a 4x400 relay against a ridiculous team (option 1)
vs.
stay home from the meet, study for the AP US history test that i've paid $82 to take, and forfeit my spot on the team (this happens to be the day before the test)

...so basically being a filler in a race my team will surely won't win (the other relay team runs in the 3:30s-3:40s) or staying home to study for the biggest test of the year so far (SATs looming) and get kicked off

Tough choice, can't help you there. But yeah i have to take the AP World history test on Tuesday, it's going to suck.

[simplephotographinthesun]

eh, i'll probably run as i'm not that big of a dirtbag and therefore won't let my teammates down

[whatduffhuck7]

does anybody else do the hurdles in here?

[Nuke Broadcast]

This year I'm a freshman and the change from the middle school discuses to high school discuses is really challenging for some reason with me. Last year I threw 105' (not too bad) but this year am only throwing 70's

yeah, i have a teach a few freshman how to get used to it too. ive been doing it 4 years (2 years indoor), and the only thing i can tell you to do is get your technique right, and go from there.

[chorbalan]

I hate track, it bores me it's just running. All the kids that do track at my school are either the social outcasts or they do it to get ready for another sport.

[Lionheart1827]

I used to be a shotput and discus thrower for my high school. In shotput, my best was 48 ft and in discus my best was 130ft i think?(its been so long) :thumb:

[simplephotographinthesun]

you clearly kicked *** back then, i dont think we've had a guy reach 40 ft. for my school in at least 5 years. i dont think we've ever hit 130 in the discus either

[Lionheart1827]

Well, I'm not sure about now, but our team was considered one of the best teams on the east coast. When I was in high school we never lost a duel meet in 30 years. It's pathetic though, it was the best team in our school, and of course all of the football jerks(which were crappy teams mind you) still got the cream of the crop in funding and still continued to do crappy. :thumb:

[paco999]

^^^ Yeah, I know what you mean it sucks. In my track team there is only 3 football players which are the only good ones and they've been doing track for a while. My school is among the 10 worst football teams in America. And all the preppy kids are like "where is your school spirit?".

I remember at the begining of the season where a bunch jag-off football players tried to join track. They quited one by one. Yep most of them are a bunch of fat, unathletic jag-offs, who were like "track is for pussies, Bla, Bla, Bla".

[PumaPride77]

I'm not trying to change your opinion on track or anything but just to clarify, it's not just running. There's also pole-vault, high-jump, discuss, and stuff like that.

[nitzguy]

i agree until you run or do an event you wouldn't get it.

[albinoblacksheep]

I hate track, it bores me it's just running. All the kids that do track at my school are either the social outcasts or they do it to get ready for another sport.

It is a great workout. Why would social outcasts in your school be the majority of people doing it? I dont understand you...anyways, thats not the case at my school or at any other school ive been to.
I mean it is the only sport at my school which im competing in. But thats because i cant stand all those other "standart" sports like soccer or basketball...if they had a rugby team or something i would definately join it. But I would still do track, in my opinion its a great sport.

[paco999]

The time has come, tomorrow, the last meet of the regular season. I would of made regionals if it werrent for the inflamated tendon in my knee :upset: . It was a fun season, today was the last practice :upset: I'm eager for indoor next year tho :thumb: .

[simplephotographinthesun]

well my school just lost 121-9 in a meet...:thumb:

[paco999]

^^^wow thats horrible, what events made those 9 pts.?

[simplephotographinthesun]

i don't know, i didn't go to the meet :lol:
