highlights,snips,clips,& blips of the 2008 season

im going into 7th grade. where i live middle schoolers can do high school sports if they passed a physical fitness test. i met all the requirements for track and field.i have a couple questions.

1.does everyone particapate in alot of meets?
2.are the people on the team usually friendly?i dont know anyone on the team and i shy.

1.) In my high school, meets against other high schools were required, but Saturday meets were not required, and about 1/4-1/2 of the people did do some of the Saturday meets, but I didn't.
2.) The people on the team are pretty friendly, I had a big team of 200. But you should be fine

I'm looking for Nashville High school track and field articles from 1981-1986 for a comparison of skill and time improvements. I recall a sportswriter, Cindy Smith having sports coverage including event finalists and winning times,heights, lengths etc. in either The Tennessean or Nashville Banner during this era.

well you aren't going to find a Nashville archives and if you if you did it would be pretty rare but you will find and archive of Tennessee high school track and field at the thsaa (Tennessee high school athletic association) you will find the all time leaders and state winners and runners etc there/'/

I'm a high school senior and for the past two years of running track, our team has been wanting to create one but never really thought about it. Is there a way I can set a track invite up for about 4 or 5 schools by May or June?

What all do I need to make it successful?

Don't the track coaches usually set up all of the meets and organizes everything like that and the kids just run in the races? I am not sure I understand your question.

I'm a junior in high school and I'm determined to join the track team in the spring, for the first time.
I recently lost thirty pounds by simple exercising and diet, but I haven't ran in a while.
I want to know what track will be like. As in the schedule, the running, and anything else.
Thank you.

For my school it goes something like:
practice every from 3:00-5:00. Workouts would usually alternate between difficult or just plain recovery.
Our dual meets would take place once a week. Invitationals are usually always on weekends. I'm assuming you're going into long distance running. I'd suggest to work out casually from now til then.

Just try to stay in shape because when the times comes and you're not in shape, the first week is gonna feel like complete, utter HELL, haha. Monitor your progress and run an official mile every now and then and time it.
I'll tell you this now and I'm going to be blunt: Try to be good. Alot of people who tend to do track don't stay dedicated to it. They show up every other day just because teams are big and coaches don't want to waste time keeping track of who's there and who's not unless you're among the top 8 or so for whatever event you're doing in your division. Stay dedicated. If you don't feel like you're up to it based on your times and whatnot, then work to the point where you'll feel like you can do decently. So when the season rolls around you'll already be ahead of the game. I'm sprinter so I don't know much about improving endurance or distance running through various methods but do your research and ask around. I'm pretty there's more workouts out there other than just running miles that'll improve your stamina and speed.

The fact that you've loss so much weight and came on here to ask this question tells me that you want to take track seriously and I commend you for that.
