As a kid, I played baseball, soccer, basketball, and even tried wrestling for 3 or 4 seasons.
Once I reached the competitive teen years, I had to cut the list down due to the different seasons.
In the fall, I ran cross country. Was a team captain for 2 seasons, qualified for the state meet my last three years, even reaching all-state status my junior year of high school. Our team was 1 injury (at the state meet) from winning the title.
In the winter, I played basketball. I was the 6th man my last two seasons, playing mostly power forward, which is funny, because I was built like a bean pole.
In the spring, I did track and field. Started originally with long distance events (1600m, 3200m), but moved into the middle distances my last two years (400m 800m) plus added in triple jump, because why not. I'm actually still listed on my high school's track honor roll in 5 or 6 events, I believe.
Just to keep tooting this horn, I believe I was nominated this year for entry into my high school's athletic hall of fame. I'll keep you guys informed.
Yay sports! |
