Track and field in high school?

I want to do track and field in High School but I have never done it before. What events are included in it? Would I be good enough to join in 9th grade. I really like high jumping and I would like to try pole vaulting so let me know if this would be a good choice for me.|||there's tons of things in track:


running-


sprints and long distance, relays, etc.





jumping-


long and high jumps


pole vaulting


the three step jump? (not sure of the exact name)





and throwing-


shoput (sp?)


discus (sp?)


etc.





i'm not, nor ever was, in high school track, but i guess i know some stuff about it. and yes, many kids join without any experience, it's one of the only sports you can join in high school without experience, and people of different levels can compete. just make sure if you don't like running, don't sign up for it because you run A LOT





answer?
