Lack of respect for Track and Field

[pv-psycho]

Maybe if we made the 10k full contact, it would be more popular

i'd watch that. lol

track at my school is bad... we had to buy warm-ups because they didn't have any, and most of the guys are (yup you guessed it) football players who don't want to condition. there's only one guy on the team who goes to fb conditioning and track. they occasionally mention our wins if we're lucky. it's not that we don't have equipment, it's the team attitude. 3 out of 4 girls are dropping out of pole vaulting! i'm the only one left!

I asked some girls if they'd go for track. they said they aren't fast so they won't do it. i told them there's jumping, throwing, that there's more to track than running but most girls at my school do soccer or softball...

sorry for ranting but IT'S FRUSTRATING!!!

It my school all the money for sports goes to football leaving the track team with 50 year old poles (except one) and a tar runway to the pit and about 18 guys (maybe 3 or 4 that care). but at least we arent the joke of the school, our soccer team didnt score one goal all year.
