Track and Field

Crowds of people cheering, being on a school track in the springtime, the temperature warm and the leaves back on the trees waving in the wind. That was what it was like last year in Track and Field for me, and running against and with the wind. In the spring boys could join Track for the season and join many events to do in meets against different schools. I know that Track is the best sport to join at school.

Although Track is the best sport to join it can be a horrible sport if you don't enjoy running or strength events. I personally like high jump out of all the events because it combines both running and strength in your legs. I could barely make it over the bar in high jump so I kept trying and trying and occasionly got better at it, but at meets I got too nervous and hit the bar. Even though I rarely made it over the bar I thought I should just quit the event because I never made it over the bar, I didn't quit because my friends kept encouraging me.

Although it was challenging my friends kept encouraging me I got better and started to not get nervous everytime I was about to jump. I would always try over and over again I got better and made it over the bar more, but sadly when I started to get more comfortable the season ended. I got comfortable when jumping over the bar and now I have to start all over. Even though I only did high jump that year I tried different events, but I wasn't good at any other events like long jump.

Even though high jump is pretty fun all of the other events are also fun. I should have tried more than just high jump, but I learned that the only event other than running distance is high jump. I should have joined more events which would have given me more of a chance at winning in meets. Winning isn't everything, but it would've been nice to win once I should've joined more team events at the same time. If I would have joined a team event I could have help from others not just being alone in high jump.

I know that Track is the best sport to join. If anyone joins track they will have fun. If someone joins any sport they should enjoy it, because they join that sport with their own free will. If somebody joins a sport that they do not enjoy they shouldn't have joined the sport in the first place. No matter what sport you join you should always have good memories about it not horrible memories.
