Yeah I went to a small school too. They encouraged us all to do 4 events in every meet. Which is fine with me, I think it is good for kids to try different things. They also wanted us all to try a 4x4... yeah I ran a slow enough 400 that they NEVER asked me to do it again :eek:

I usually did PV, long or triple or both, 100 hurdles... in the summer meets I would do any event :)

At meets I vault, throw the discus, run the 300m hurdles, and run on the 4x400m relay team. Remember, a weird combo, but I'm going to be a decathlete next year. I would throw javelin, but like most states, it is uncontended in GA. :crying:

Other sports include pick-up games of lacrosse, used to play baseball, and I play on a competitive Ultimate frisbee team. However, I never pass up an opportunity to play some competitive badminton or go bowling, seriously. :yes:

Well since i don't really pole vault anymore i guess it doesn't count what i do now. I run the 400m, 200m, 100m, Triple Jump and the relays for the University of Washington. But in High school i used to run the 300 Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, 100m, 200m, 400m, javelin and relays.. i think that is it and i also played Rugby and Field Hockey for the school. You guys don't wanna even know what i did for my clubs at our one days meets... lets say it was more than 10 different events in one day.

well other than vaulting i play football. i have not yet decided if im going to play again this year because i just might work on vaultin all summer and not worry about injuring myself and being dedicated to practice. I also am not sure about what position i want to play so thats a setback.
hmmmm

SURFING is where it's at!!!! It's the best, because just like vaulting, theres always that risk that everytime u go 4 a wave u could get worked :yes: but then if u don't it's awesome and the awesome rides are what keep u coming back for more even if the wave kicks your a**! With vaulting, theres also that risk of getting worked! That's why vaulting and surfing are soooooo GREAT!!!

I've played frisbee golf! They have an actual course with baskets and everything, here in Bellingham.

There is an unofficial course at UGA, but I have never done it there.
