Has anyone ever tried to make a club track and field team at U dub? I couldn’t find it looking at the RSOs and I was curious if anyone would be interested. My friends back east participate in club track and love it and I’m really missing the track and the community right about now. Obviously right now ain’t a good time with Covid and we’d have to use the Roosevelt track probably since the UW track is tightly controlled, but I think it’d be fun and with the talent at this school we’d do pretty well.
r/IAmA keeps taking my stuff down even though I have proof, so I have to post here.
My name is Ryan Walton, I'm 15 years old, and I can jump 20 feet as a sophomore in high school. I'm already starting to get scholarships from smaller schools, but I want to go to Temple University. AMA
It's been a good day in Fayetteville today for the Hogs with a baseball win, basketball win and Track and Field championship, all for the home team.
Today I started training in the track, I really like to run mainly distances around 200m and 400m but I am training a for running, jumping and throwing. I am currently 13 years old (turning 14 in November) and really confident when it comes to sports. I have some prior experience in track and field but it was 2 years ago in school. At my school we have a annual competition which at 11 years old (the age at which I participated in the event) there was long jump, 60m, 1200m, cross-country 1600m, javelin but it actually was a puck but the same technique as javelin. I got gold medal for every category competing with all of my school companions, I don't remember the times and distances for every category only that I jumped 4.22m in long jump breaking the previous school record of 4.09m. For now I am starting 1 day per week of training but hopefully afterwards I start 2 days per week 2 hours each day. I also play 2-3 days per week of soccer and I am starting a 100 days challenge of at least 1 burpee per day for 100 days (the idea is to more than one but it is to make it easy at first). The burpees are mainly to get back in shape because after last year of doing little, close to non exercise at all. After the 100 days I would start a more complete and long exercises (this is a part of training in the track and playing soccer).
I apologies in advance of any spelling mistake English is my 3rd language (first is Portuguese but I don't really speak it, my actual language that I speak is Spanish). Thanks for reading and I will probably keep writing in this sub reddit asking for help and talking about my journey as a young track and field athlete. Not sure if this is what this sub reddit is for... joined recently...
Good luck in your journey!!! 💪
I know that many sports in track and field, especially those requiring high strength and explosiveness, are heavy in roid use in olympic level. But how about long run, like 10000m or marathon? Are they heavily on gear?
Hey guys,
I am a 16-year old international student looking to enroll at UIUC this fall. I have been running track for years now and was looking to join the track team. I havent been able to be timed in the last year and a half because I moved countries and because of Covid, but in June of 2019, I ran a 10.83s 100m - albeit with semi-manual timing. So I'm asking, what kind of time should I put up to be admitted into the track team? I have been also going to the gym 3 times a week since all the tracks around me are closed, so what kind of weight should I be able to lift (squats, deadlift, etc...) ?
Thank you.
I have never participated in a track meet before. I am a senior in high school. However, I have run for several years, solo. I have a good chance of being competitive, and I have been practicing with my team for a month or so now. One problem, I've been stricken with peroneal tendonitis, of which is healing soon, and I'll be able to get back to running. All of this considered, I'll only be able to make a total of 8/10 (potential) meets. I'm feeling really crappy about having to miss two meets right up front. Where should my mindset be instead?
I'm (15 y/o Male) from the Philippines and growing up, we didn't really have diverse sports we can join to at school. I moved to Maine 17 months ago and now I'm a Freshman. A friend of mine suggested that I should join track and I was happy to do it for myself too.
However, others told me that track is very competitive (which obviously involves a lot of running) and I'm afraid that I will be a liability when my team will lose points and they'll blame me for it. I'm also worried that the people I will be grouped with will be aggressive and fierce when it comes to athleticism and I'll be the burden which would be pretty embarrassing.
Sports is pretty much a new territory for me, what are the things I should keep in mind before joining?
I’m starting track and field soon and I’m planing on running the 100m and doing the long jump. Is there anything I should know before going to my first practice. Thanks in advance.
I got into track in my middle school years (granted I was a thrower). I heard of track and field for the first time in my middle school, and throwing as a concept intrigued me, so I ended up enrolling in that sport. When do you think most Olympic runners, whether they were distance, thrower, or sprinters got into track and field?
I snatched a piece of meat, then grabbed my shopping cart and got the hell out of Central Park.
My kid wants to try track. My wife was in track from 5 to 12th grade and he wants to follow in her footsteps. However, I'm struggling to find any kind of track or running program for kids here. He'll be 11 next month. Is my only option really to just wait until he goes to Sutherland next year?
I have my answer but I want to hear from y’all... what’s the hardest (common) track event to participate in and why? Let’s have that friendly, but serious conversation.
EDIT: if you really want to just put your own event, make sure you have a good reason why lol
The game is definitely from the late 16bit / early 32bit era. 2D with lots of scaling and parallax scrolling.
I know I played it in MAME but it looked like it could have run on a Saturn or PlayStation.
I know there are at least two games in the series.
The only event I can remember was kind of like Javelin but you either threw yourself or you threw someone else?
Can’t remember if the game was in English or not.
I haven't really watched this show , but it crossed my mind that pre World War 2 is the only time Nazis had to mix with the rest of the world in a non war paradigm and most infamously perhaps ,none so iconic as the Berlin Olympic games in 1936. I see that baseball and football were used as devices and the handling of their imagined history seems logical. However, the writers might have been hard pressed to explain away a major event such as the Olympics, and seeing as athletics are a fundamental expression of human existence , it probably would have been too much of a headache to twist how the Nazis would deal with it. Thinking about it myself , if they decided,, OK NO MORE OLYMPICS,, it would most definitely have to be portrayed as going underground ... Having said that tho, not addressing the existence of the Olympics is clearly a convenient oversight for the construction of the fiction.. But a glaringly big omission all the same and one that beggars belief in a real world based alternate history.. Having said thst i didnt watch it , but a quick Google suggests im correct.
