Track

A sport of running, with races generally being middle or sprint distances and on a running track, hence the name, opposed to cross country which is longer distances, not run on a track. However, some distances appear in both sports. Generally paired with field, as in "Track and Field." Actually being good at it required being in good shape, however it tends to be a sport people do just because they want to play some sport, but aren't very good. It also is generally a sport where people don't get cut, so it tends itself to this well. Also, easy to join once the season's already started, so it tends to get the rejects from other sports.

A: How was tennis tryouts?
B: I got cut, I think I'll run track instead.
A: Sound good, nobody gets cut from track
