Track Season “Jumps” to a Start By Kylie Farris
Are you a good runner, or like to do several different field events? Or just an athlete that likes to hang out and have fun with your friends? Track may be for you then.
Track has numerous different events to participate in. There is the 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter, 800-meter, the mile, hurdles and lots of relays. Field also has lots of events, such as the long jump, the high jump, discuss, shot-put and more.
The first track meet is coming up on April 5th. Many students are well prepared and excited about this. I interviewed a couple of people to see what there favorite track event was and what there favorite part of track was. 7th grader, Hunter Couch said, “My favorite event is the 400 and my favorite part is winning!” 7th grader, Justine Donlon stated, “I like running but just not hills. My favorite event is the 800.” Then I talked to Meg Szmed (8th grader) to find out her favorites. She exclaimed, “My favorite part of track is running with my friends.”
So you see lots of kids at LMS enjoy participating in track! Even if you don’t like to run, run, run, it is still fun because you can do events in field. Please make sure to try and come support the Lions track team in their home meets after school April 7th and 14th!
