Track is the running part of Track & Field, which also includes such events as long jump, high jump, etc.

Normally, the Track Team will be looking for people who can run fast, and/or run for a long time. My guess is that your school will have try-outs, which is when you'd have the opportunity to show the coaches your skills. Most of the time, the coaches will select the students with the best skills, based on a limited number of spaces available on the team. Sometimes, all students are allowed on the team, but then only run the events that allow them to use their skills.

There are quite a few different types of running events. The shortest is usually the 100-meter dash, which is exactly as it sounds - a sprint for 100 meters. There are also longer runs on the track, such as the 400m, relays and hurdles. Additionally, there is also cross-country, although this is sometimes a separate team, as the type of training involved is quite a bit different.

Track in my opinion is a good sport to get into. There are dozens of events one can train for of varying distances and skill. It'll get you in shape really fast, and is fun to do with friends.

The meets are kinda fun, long, but it's a good time.

At the beginning of the season, there should be an announcement somewhere at your school. Just see the track coach if your interested in joining.

No one is really pressured to compete if they don't want to. It was really relaxed when I did it, and lots of fun. Don't let any worries prevent you from joining!

a track team is like any other team in high school. it's a second family only this one depends more on each other. everyone is doing something different, and they should all independly work their best to support their teammates. track teams usually have a lot of diversity, and are very fun. you need a lot of people willing to work hard in other to win. you join as you would any other sport, and attending practices.
