High School Track events are as follows:\n100m Sprint\n200m Sprint\n400m Run\n800m Run\n1600m Run "The Mile"\n3200m Run "The Two Mile"\nHigh Hurdles (100m for girls, 110m for guys)\nIntermediate Hurdles (400m or 300m, depends on the state)\n\nNone of them are easy, but the 100m Sprint is the shortest, and the 3200m is the slowest pace.\n\nThere's a general consensus among track runners that the 800m and 400IH are the hardest events in track and field.

Cross Country and Track are Awesome!\n\nWhen I was a Junior in High School I ran 15:09 for 5k.  I was State Champion my Senior year in Cross Country.  I was a 5 time State Champion in Track (2 State Records 1600/3200).\n\nMy PRs are: 400: 50.7; 800: 153.4; Mile: 4:11; 3000m: 8:44; 5 Mile: 25:27; 10k: 33:08; 10 Mile 53:43; and Marathon: 3:28\n\nOh and I have been a die hard Nike fan for years!!!\n\nAlso, Cross Country is better than Lacrosse, as a matter of fact in college I had several Lacrosse players get mad at me for beating one of there players in a contest!\n\n"Distance Runners Keep It Up Longer"

Meriam Webster defines sport as a function (noun); a source of diversion; RECREATION; physical activity engaged in for pleasure; and a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in...\n\nThere is such a thing as DANCE SPORT. And people have been lobbying to include ballroom dancing in the Olympics. The Winter Olympics' figure skating may also be considered a dance on ice.  So YES, dancing MAY be considered a sport.\n\nHowever, it may also be considered a PROFESSION for some - like dance instructors, coaches, dancers, entertainers.\n\nIt may also be considered a HOBBY for those who just dance because they want to, but not for sport (competition) or livelihood (career).

It's kind of like band or twirling.  It's not considered a sport really but it is considered an extracurricular activity.  You can still get brownie points for it from colleges if that is why you are asking.

I would love to try it because high jump seems fun, but my coach kind of makes me do the distance events. But Track and field is still awesome.

I never got that impression - seems to me that people generally respect track & field. I think it is actually the truest test of athletic ability. To the extent it does not test reflexes, aiming, etc., it more than makes up for that by testing strength and endurance to the maximum and with no teammates or anything else to determine your success - unless you are doing relays. Unlike nearly all other sports, running requires nothing but yourself.\n\nThink of just about any other sport, and you'll find people at the top levels who are not in great shape if not out of shape. You'll never see that on the track.\n\nRunning is as easy or as hard as you want to make it. So yes, you can go out for a Sunday jog or you can torture yourself or anything in between. I've done it for 30 years and don't regret it one bit. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say its physical benefits are enormous.
