Is anyone on a Highschool/College track team? Just wondering. If you are but your events and your personal record for each event.

I'm a freshman on a highschool track team. These are my main events and my times:

800 meters- 2min. 36sec.
1600meters (1 mile)- 5min. 58sec.

Well...A long time ago, when I was considerably thinner...

40 yard- 5.1 sec
1 mile- 6min 3 sec.

I was on the football team though, not track.

are you male or female?

When I was smoking a half a pack a day, and at a mile above sea-level I ran my first of two miles at your speed.

Oh, quiet you ;). I'm not much for running for the sake of running. I'd much rather stay and chat! We can't all be good runners.

Seriously; I was around 250lbs, being a lineman (american football) I wasn't meant for speed, but rather striking power. I guess I was a bit slow compared to the best, Cortez Kennedy (formerly of the NFL) ran his 40 yard dash in 4.6 sec...and he weighed over 360lbs.

i prefer railroad track myself, preferably narrow gauge!

.../\...

I'm joining track next year once I cut my mile time down to sub-6 (6:43, but earlier this yr i couldn't even run sub-8, so I'll cut it down and have a respectable time). I'm also gonna do some field events like high-jump; the first time (also the last; I nevah got da opportunity to do it again) I was one of the best high-jumpers in da grade

I'm not in High School yet, but I did a half-mile (800 m) in 2:45 or so. Course, now it's probably a 2:55 :oops:

400 meters in 0:55, which was considered slow

You do a 5:58 mile in high school. I've pretty much forgotten my old mile times from high school but that is good!

I don't really enjoy running to the extent that I'd practice enough to be on a track team.

Well, I Wrestled for the High School this past year as a freshman, and for about three months we had to run 3 miles a day, 5 days a week (not to mention a ton of other junk for upper body strength). My fastest mile is about 6:15. Fastest three-mile- 26 mins.
My fastest 400 meter is 1:03.
That's all I keep up with.

My PR's:
800: 2:37
1600: 5:26
3200: 11:54

I'm not on track, but I'm on the swim team....*leaves after makinh such a pointless post*

You should join a track team. I mean, when I started at the beginning of the season, I was barely under 7 min. Now I'm just under 6. I'd say that's pretty good for one season. :wink:

i'm in band

It's been 25 years since I ran track but my best 880 yd (sorry no metric events back then) was 2:10, my best mile was 4:36. My son who is a sophmore (and won his varsity letter as a freshman in track) runs the 800 in 2 flat and the 1600 in 4:20. His current goal is to break the magic 4 minute barrior in the mile before he graduates, he's even giving up football and running crosscountry next year to help in the effort.

I did shot put and discus. At least I didn't have to run anywhere! :P

Wow. That's awsome. You should be proud.

Well these stats are a little outdated. These are from 2 years ago... since I haven't actually done track and gotten it timed... however I still run/other stuff so I wouldn't have gotten much worse if at all....

400: 0:54
800: 2:14
1600: 5:46

Those might not be the exact numbers, as I said it was two years ago. However those numbers seemed to ring a bell, and I know it was very close to those if not exactly.

Pretty damn good.

BTW, I get 1:08 on the 400. Not too god, is it? :cry:

I was on track last year. Long distance. I didn't go this year because of surgery.

My record

400: 1:07
800: 3:02

GO FAUQUIER FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My team were the Beavers.

Honestly!

There was a suburban team near Cleveland named the Bunnies; their colors were pink and white.

Sherwood Warriors!!!!
