Track Season is Here!


Well it is spring again, my favorite season.  It has that great temperature and is perfect for running, it’s crisp and cool but can still be sunny which makes it just ideal to be outside and enjoy it all.  Track comes at the perfect time of the year.  I could not think of any other sport, other then soccer; that I would rather be doing.  

Last year are team was rather small compared to most schools but that did not stop us from competing.  Everyone did their best and we came away with medals and records.  Taylor Richards even went to state for high jump.  I am very excited to be part of track again.  It is a very fun experience to go to meets and hang out and compete with people from school.  However, most memories I have of track were not at the track meets.  Track is very fun to be a part of plus it is good exercise.  

One of the best parts is trying to beat a record you set or someone else did, it gives you something to push and strive for.  It teaches you how to rely on others.  If you are doing a relay you need to make sure you’re in tune with your relay team so you can make the hand offs pristine to get the best time.  The sound of a baton hitting the track is a sound I know I never want to hear.  We have a larger team this year so this probably means people can focus on fewer events.  Last year most of us were running the max amount of events you were allowed.  I am very excited for track it could not have come fast enough.
