I was thinking about joining the track team this year, but people keep telling me how hard it is. I really want to do it but i dont want to be the slowest one on the team. I am very new at running and havent trained much. Should i go out for the team?

Go ahead and go for it! I have ran track once before and I can definitally tell you I wasn't exactly the fastest horse in the barn But still, I had a lot of anyways! I to run, and I enjoy it even though I may not be running alongside everyone else. No matter what event you want to do, if you want to do it then go right ahead. Sports are a mix of effort, for the sport and competative drive. If you want to do a sport, are willing to put in your best, than that is all that is being asked of you. Sports aren't only for superjocks

It all depends on which position you are going for. I've recently began the s put which is where you throw the ball as far as you can with speed and technique. My position takes a lot of coordination and my record which is most than everyone else is 20.812 feet. There is also the pole vault which takes a lot of strength almost gymnast related. You have to throw yourself above the pole and do stunts and I don't think there is pole vault on our team but I think high-school league may have it available in my location. Currently, I'm in the 7th Grade which means I am junior high school. There are certain distances you can run to try out for the team but s put doesn't require try out for this team. If you are willing to compete with running, I say go for it because you never know what kind of accomplishment you will make. Good Luck! -Emily
