<claim>43.7 in the 300 hurdles</claim>

I hate track the only reason I ran was so I could get good at football and now since I am a senior and don't have football anymore I am just chillin and thinkin about maybe playin rugby.

back in high school, i started off with a lot of events, but i was lazy and couldnt stand some of the workouts, so i narrowed it down to only javelin. Got the pitiful school record at around 180ft, but damn, some of those big guys (I was only 5'7") could fucking throw a spear.

My 8th grade 1500 was like 5:45 and I haven't done track since. Probably because I sucked.

Track started for me today too. I'm a pole vaulter. I'm a junior and my p.r.'s 13'6", but I haven't barred in about a half a year (I vault year round). I'm hopin' for 14'1" and a trip to states this year.

thanks. kinda funny how i started doing it actually, i'm normally a distance runner, but i saw them throwing one day and i thought it looked like more fun than the 400s we were doing, so i tried it a few times, and it turns out i'm one of the best in the league,


kind of a shitty league though, no one really good.

I could honestly talk about track and field for days on end haha. I finished high school and I'm a sophomore at college and am a member of the team. I jump mostly, but ran some hurdles and stuff in high school and still do a bit in college. Triple jump is definitely my best event

pr- TJ- 47'10
LJ- 22'3

ok now im done claiming haha

I really hate track.  8 times around a track is just boring.  I run on my own anyways, it frees up my afternoons for frisbee.

Damn that was so long ago. I ran track and CC for high school, grad 10 years ago. I ran 4x100, 4x800, 4x200, 300 hurdles, 800, did high jump
ran a 10.13 in the 100, a 43.2 in 300 hurdles, 2:10 in the 800, 23.0 in the 200, and 5'10" on the high jump
In CC my best for a 5k was 18:16
I probably couldn't do any of that now.

that is a very good time. prob around a 4:17-4:19 depending on how good his kick is.

i use to run in high school and at one point in time prob ran every race other than the 100 haha.

400-51.8 (during a relay so doesn't really count)
800- 2:01
those are really my only note worthy times.
i hated track more than anything, waiting around at meets and being hungry and constantly going to the bathroom was no fun. i will not miss running at all haha.

Many many people on the track and field world believe that he was using substances that were performance enhancing

I've always wanted to do HH but I can't get over them, I'm just way too short. I'm the shortest hurdler on the team at 5'6" and im pretty good, but theres no way I'll be able to HH anytime soon.
