I have my college conference meet this weekend, so it should be some nasty competition. I'm only triple jumping, and really would like to place. I've gotten 7th twice in the past two years, and top 6 place. I have jumped 47'5" so far, and need to jump at least in teh 48s to place. I'm pretty excited, although my foot has been bothering me a bit lately

I run long distance. I was also wicked sickfor two weeks. It takes so much out of you. When you start runing it feels like you are doing it for the first time. My PR for the mile is 5:08 and the two mile is low 11. That's really bad for me though, considering I ran that in 10th grade, which was two years ago for me.

I've got the league meet on Wednesday this week. My team went 5-1.

I'm a junior and I pole vault. I'm actually leaving in like 2 minutes to go down and vault at my club. My p.r. is 13' 9" and hopefully after Wednesday it'll be 14' 1", the new school record. Mad close.

Good luck in your last few meets guys. Hold it down for the skiiers!

Im a soph in high school, currently on the JV team.  Our last meet is tomorrow, so far our varsity team is undefeated and we won MVC conference meet.  Hopefully we will win districts and take it to state.
I've been doing well considering i missed most of preseason due to a broken arm. 
1.03 400 lows
16.38 shuttle hurdle

I'm satisfied, most of my stuff is dece, but not enough to make varsity, so i'll have to train and shit this summer.

I know your pain, my senior year vaulting was a disaster. I think my pr for the season was 13, which isn't to bad. The worst part was I had the worst shin splints of my life the whole season, it was to the point where I could barely walk after practice and around school going up and down stairs. Although I did learn how to do front flips off my pole.

i am in high school in CO. my team sucks as a whole cause we have no spinters that are any good, but my pr in the 800 is 1:58    400=52     and 1600=4:45 but ive only run it once.
we have regionals this week so hopefully i can bring my 800 down to 1:57 and qualify for state

I only really ever had 1 good time, my 800. I ran a 2:00 for that, and I could do that pretty consistantly.


I was hoping to go under 16:30 in the 5k, and under 4:30 in the mile my senior year but I stress fractured both of my femurs (thigh bones) pretty retarded... oh well, at least I had good 800 times.

This year has been crap all around, we had three meets cancelled, so we're only getting three legit meets before regionals. I've decided to run the 200 this year, which I've been getting 23.00 in. 400= 50.01, 4x1= 44.00. I haven't run the 4x2 yet, but I will after conference; then we should rape with a 1:29. Long jump= 21' 1.5". There seem to be alot of fast times on here, good to see that skiers can run too.

XC 5k is 18:54 without summer running, which is decent for me.  Looking to get it down in the 17s in the next 2 years. Track, im embarassed to say my 1600 time is in the upper 5s.  Yeah I don't care about track.

Ever since I finished football, I haven't ran track. Good riddance, honestly for me it's not that fun, I mean if you find running around an oval fun than it's your thing, but it's not my bag.

Before injuries 15:45 5k, 4:28 mile (junior year HS)...after injuries...well haven't raced since then really. Being injured sucks. And by injured I mean chronic hamstring injury that's persisted for 2yrs. Avoid them if at all possible.

Good luck everyone!

I wonder how much of you are telling the truth about the times. The guy that said he ran 15 and some odd seconds might be a state champ and a national contender. The fact that we all ski must mean we don't train much in the winter, making it harder to run a 5k in the 15 minute range.  Many of you others say you run times in the 16 minute range, very fast times, although none og you probaly train in the winter. It all seems a bit odd to me.

^well not nescessarily about the training. i train all winter and still ski a ton, both weekend days and often weekdays, i still run while in the mountains. and i train all summer too. i ran a 18:55 this year (freshman year) and i think i can get low 17's this year. yeah 15 would be pretty could, but i know B-Rent is legit, his team is in my state and ive seen them & him run before

Did you guys hear about the girl in Texas that won her state meet for her team all by herself. She won all 4 events she entered which i think were the disc, jav, 200, and the last one I forgot. But she won with like 45 points and 2nd place had 36 or something like that.
