Makin'Tracks... Take away the shots, the javelins, the high jump, the hurdles, the pole vaults and every other object associated with track and what do you get? What you get is an individual willing to sacrifice his or her after school and weekend social life, spend grueling hours practicing in sometimes unbear- able weather, or just a person fighting to break his own personal records. Track, as most of us see it, is a sport where an individual competes against another individual for a better time, longer distance or greater height, but from the eyes of the track athlete, the sport is more of an accomplishment - to succeed in breaking his or her own records, through hours of practice. A record for a track athlete isn't just a set of numbers, but it is a personal goal that pushes them to exceed their own abilities. Each individual event in track is a sport in itself, which means each individual athlete has to excell, per- sonally and as a team member.
