I am interested in joining Track and Field, and I was wondering what events are available in high School. I was also wondering if you get to choose 1 event that you want to do. thanks!|||Indoor/Winter Track ya have ( I think , probably a couple more)

**Outdoor

You're allowed 4 events every meet unless you are competing the Pentathlon which has 5 events.


You should defiantly join track coz it is fun!|||2 mile


1 mile


sprint relays


100 meter/200/400/


throwing (shot/disc)


jumps(long, triple/high)


polvault


hurdles


etc


yeah you can do more but they just can't be going on at the same time because events from all types go on so talk to your coach|||It varies from state to state. Since you have never run before it will be good for you to try different things until you find something you like. The coach should be able to help you. You may have an interest in either sprints, or distance, and may be some field events. Just try different things.|||im glad other ppl took this seriously cuz i sure couldnt!!:)) hahahaha|||It depends on the school and the equipment available: The events are the 100, 200, 400, 400 Hurdles, 110/100 hurdles, 800, 1600, 3200m races and then Long Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Shot Put, Javeline. When you join the team, you can usually chose which event you would like to train and compete in.|||join track if you like running,jumping,throwing.... don't worry your coaches will know where to place you and youll get better if your worried about that...|||shot put. pole vault, discus, 2 by 8. 800,hurdles, and some other stuff i cant remember. i would choose shot put|||Usually everyone gets to choose the events they want to be in, but I think it depends on your coach.


Here are the events:(these are events that my highschool has, yours could be different depending on where you live)


100 meters sprint


200 meters sprint


400 meters sprint


800 meters sprint
