Track and field began in the Olympics in Ancient Greece in 776 B.C. The track started blooming in the 1860s. Track and field was created because of religious events and celebrations for the Greek gods so men could show off their athletic abilities. The modern Olympic Games played a significant role in the popularizing of track and field worldwide. The first things created were sprinting races, long jump, and throwing events. There are many more events today that you can participate in.
Nowadays, Track is a very competitive and popular sport that shows amazing athleticism. The track events now are sprints, hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, and many more. In high school, track is a very good experience, it shows the school your athletic abilities and you get to compete with different schools and people. Track is a very mental sport, you have to be willing to work as hard as you can and to allow yourself to push through very tough races and events.
I am currently in track and I enjoy it. Although track can be draining at times, I think it is all worth it in the end. I run 400’s, 400 hurdles, and occasionally shuttle hurdles and 100 hurdles. At times these events can be tiring and can get me in the wrong mindset. Ever since I've been participating in track, I've learned that not every race is going to go how you picture it and you will have bad meets which you will have to accept and push yourself to be better next time.

I use to do track and field. I really enjoyed the meets but didn't always enjoy the practices that came along with it. My favorite to do was probaly disc but I liked watching the hurdles more than anything. I would consider going out if I didn't have another sport going on at the time.
I have never done track. I don't really know much about it but I would love to watch any race/event. I don't think that I would go out for track because it seems like a lot of work.;
A lot of people think that it is to much work. I think that people don't go out because they only think of the bad things about the sport. If you have a good mindset track is fun!
I do track, I compete in 100 meter dash, 200 meter, hurdles and occasionaly 400 hurdles. I love track and I am very excited for the season to get started up! This season is going to be very fun!
I agree with you!
I used to do track. My favorite event to watch is probably the 4x4 and my favorite to do is the 100 meter dash because it is quick. I probably wouldn't do track again.
I have seen a lot of people's favorite event to compete in is the 100-meter dash. I enjoy watching that event!
I do not do track, but watching hurdles is fun as it is very competitive and people might fall when jumping. I would consider it but right now I would not do it as I am already doing soccer as a spring sport but maybe next year if I don't do soccer.
Hurdles seem like a scary thing to do when you think about the idea of falling.
I am not in track. I never really enjoyed the track and field days in elementary. So therefore, I never wanted to be in track. Track seems like it is a lot of work. My stepbrothers are in track, and the track meets are very boring.
