what track event do they have in middle school??

Question

in april i'm going to play track,and i'm never played track before and i want to know what event does it have in middle school...

Answer 1

This depends a bit on the State and school, but in general T&F at the Junior High level is limited to relay and dash (running/sprinting) events (100 to1600 Meter), shot put, long jump, triple jump, and high jump.

In junior high, for obvious safety and insurance reasons, they generally do NOT run hurdles of any kind, pole vault, discus, and javelin.

For the most part, anybody can participate, and the first few practices will be spent figuring out which event suits you best.

Answer 2

Well, I agree that each middle school may have a different track program, but the main events are:

(RUNNING) 100 m; 200 m; 400 m; 800 m; 1600 m; 4 x 100 m relay; 4 x 200 m relay; 4 x 400 m relay; 110 m hurdles

(FIELD) shotput; discus; high jump; long jump

Again, it all depends upon what your middle school is offering in order to know what events there are in middle school track...

Answer 3

In my area, the middle schools don't even have track teams. It's unfortunate because I didn't start track until high school, and I wasn't even really that aware of it prior to high school either. I wish I would have started earlier because now I know that running is my sport! You are lucky if the middle schools where you live have track. You will be better when you get to high school track if you start now! I'm assuming that they would have all the typical events...100, 200, 400, 800, mile, shot put, hurdles, long jump, high jump, etc...

Answer 4

100 meters \
200 meters | sprint events
400 meters /
800 meters middle distance
1600 meters long distance (possibly 1500 meters instead)

110 meters hurdles

shot put \
discus / field events

high jump \
long jump | jumping field events
triple jump /

the events may vary from place to place perhaps a 3200 meter race and 400 meter hurdles also maybe a javelin throw but the ones up there should be for middle school

(400 meters = once around a track
1600 meters = 1 mile)

Answer 5

I'm in middle school and MY school has...
-100 Meter Sprint
-200 Meter Sprint
-400 Meter Sprint
-800 Meter Sprint
-The Mile
-Hurdles
-High Jump
-Long Jump
-Shot Put (sp?)

Hope I Helped, Good Luck!

Answer 6

At middle school they have all of the main events like mile, 800, 2400,100 meters,100 meters hurrdles, and disscuss, and long jump, and high jump.

Answer 7

My 8th grade track just started today. In running we have the 1600, 800, 200, 400, 100, 4x4 relay, 4x2 relay. in field they have high jump, long jump, shotput, discus. they also have 100m hurdles and 200m hurdles

Answer 8

I think, none. Sorry I don't know...but I'm guessing its none because my middle school didn't.
