The Junior High track team has been pretty good so far. The team has one the majority of their meets. This year's team is really talented and has really skilled runners.
There are a lot of options to choose for running track. There are sprints, high jump, long distance, shot put, long jump, discus, and hurdles. There are a lot of good things that come from running track, Zane Powell says, “ I like track because I can compete with my friends and track is a great way to stay fit.” Track is a good way of staying fit for other sports and in general living longer.
If you want to run track for the school, you wear certain things. Brody Day says, “We wear our jersey and we also wear shoes with spikes on the bottom kinda like football cleats.” Track and field is great for staying in shape and especially for other sports like basketball and football.
Track runners are fast, so here are some of the fastest times.
Josh Bryce is one of the best runners the track team has, his PRs (Personal Record) are 2:24.66 for the 800M which is 2 laps around the track. His PR for 1600M which is a mile is 5:41.85. Josh is a great runner. Next is Caleb Garrett, he is a good runner and his PR for 800M is 3:33.22 and for 1600M it is 7:34.59. Cameron Sessions is another great runner her PRs are 31.48 for the 200M and 1:11.14 for the 400M. These are some of the best 6th grade track runners. Also some more people are Zane Powell and Brody Day.
Track and field is overall a great way to stay fit and is very fun especially when you are with your friends. If you have never ran track before I suggest that you should try it out.
