The History Of Athletes In Sports

“Final call girl’s four by eight-hundred-meter relay” called the official. The Ontario Track girl’s four by eight-meter team trooped up to lane one, in unison. I would not have wanted to be racing with anyone else but my relay family. We had trained all season for this one race. Every workout, asthma attack, tear, and shin splint has lead up to this one race to break a twenty year old school record. As we jogged with the official from the bullpen to the starting line, the crowd had uproars of excitement for the athletes. An immense smile grew across my face, not only from the ecstatic crowd, but from the anticipation to race. I approached the starting line, in the first lane, while my teammates arrayed along the fence with the other second,

Track and field is among one of the oldest of all sports competitions, such as running, jumping, and also throwing. Track and field started in Greece around 776 BC, and they created the 1st example of organized track and field events with the 1st Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece. As many years went by, track and field started to expand by inventing the Pentathlon which involved the long jump, javelin throw, discus throw, 100m dash, and also wrestling. Years later the Decathlon added 5 more events (400m, 1500m, hurdles, pole vault, and shot put.) This event became worldwide very quickly and now the winner of the decathlon is known as the greatest athlete of their time. Many decathletes such as the 2012 Olympic decathlon champion, Ashton

Typically, there are only about eight races in the entire season, making the stakes high for every one of them. The meets vary in size from just a few schools to over a thousand athletes from all over California. Waking up at four o’clock in the morning to go to a faraway race becomes worth it at the start line and in the last sprint to the finish, all fatigue is

Right out of the gate in the high school boys race, everybody knew Junior Zach Kreft from Buckeye Valley would run away with the victory but the 2nd overall finisher was still a question. Freshman Luke Malone and Gavin Frick worked off each other the entire race moving from as far as 17th and 18th place early on to finishing 2nd and 4th. The two were able to run a 5:17 and 10:52 for their mile splits. At the end, Malone was just able to beat out Frick and Sophomore Adam Brown from North Union to race into 2nd place racing to a PR of 16:58. Frick was able to PR, finishing just behind Malone running a 17:03. The two were able to beat Buckeye Valley’s number two,

The most recent article I found was published on Wednesday, June 15, 2016, titled “FSU Concrete Canoe Team Places 12th in the Nation”. Just seeing the title peaked my interest and after reading the article I learned that during the team’s thirteenth trip to the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition on June 11, 2016, (at the University of Texas in Tyler, Texas) they tied their best ranking of twelfth in the nation. They also placed ninth in the women’s sprints which broke a record for their best placement in the competition. After further investigation, I learned that the ASCE organization and Concrete Canoe Team’s current goal is to break the longest overall consecutive national appearances record ever held by a team. The current record is fifteen consecutive appearances.

First, did your team decide to race or not to race? Explain your how your group arrived at that decision.

In a row over in the WA/B 2x, Kate-Eliza David and Ingrid McKellar took out first place. The MO8+ composed of Newcastle’s James Pacey and NUBC athletes Zac Lochrin, Matthew Meisenhelter, Damon Mills, Anthony Mujic, Jason Nissen, Tim Trethowan, Cody Shaw and Cox Kate-Eliza David placed 2nd. Similar results followed with the Mix 8+ of Ingrid McKellar, Kate-Eliza David, Alex Frost, Shantelle Lindsay, Matthew Meisenhelter, David Webb, Zac Lochrin, James Wilkins and cox Liz Johnston also taking out 2nd place to UNSW. Unfortunately the wind continued to pick up, seeing the last of the afternoon’s races cancelled.

Moesha explained to me how she wanted this win more than anything. Gabe who was the oldest on our relay team said to me “Lisha how could you let that happen you know how bad we wanted to win that.” I could not say any words because they were talking at me like they were auctioneers who were placing a bid on a car. Tradeshia the person who never cries she was sucking her teeth and bouncing her leg with her arms folded she had

Bang! Off go the runners. Today’s olympics have a myriad of differences from the ancient olympics held in Rome. Nowadays, we have an impalpable amount of sports to compete in, like: Equestrian, Aquatics, Gymnastics, and tons more. In addition, today's Olympics are now multicultural and accept more countries from all around the globe to spectate, host, and participate in the games.

McClammer will be a busy young woman throughout the event. She’s qualified for the 100-, 200-, 400-, 800-, 1,500- and 5,000-meter races, but she and Skinner will pare that list as the event gets closer, based on schedules and how they feel about each race.

First off, I’d like to start off by saying thank you. You guys reaching out to me shows just how passionate of a squad you all are. My time at Barker began a tradition of success, and I’m glad to see that even though I have left, the team still wants that championship atmosphere. This is all on you, your desire, your work ethic, and I am proud of you for seeking how to achieve the next level. Because of you, Barker will continue to be the dominant powerhouse in New York State small school distance running.

Male or female, sports were often introduced to many at a young age. Some vigorously exercised from their childhood just to be physically prepared to endure the sport’s requirements. Winning at these games brought great honor to some families and some were disciplined to dedicate their whole lives learning the game. Many civilizations involved sports within their community as a form of entertainment and competition. Even

The team was ready, we had been working extremely hard for the past seven months for this. We were all in great shape and very rested. A few of the returning players were meeting me at my house to carpool to the final game of the state championship tournament. Everyone knew that the hard work had paid off when we won the semi-final game the preceding day.
