Usually referred to as a sport for those who cant compete in those such as football or lacrosse, track is actually one of the hardest sports there is in high school athletics. There are no time outs or substitutions in races, and you cant whine to your coach that you feel like your legs are going to fall off every second of the race. Those who say that track is for the weak have obviously never attempted to run an all out mile two mile and even then, would not come even close to the times that true runners have the ability to put up.
Track is different from the more mainstream sports in many ways. Unlike sports such as football or lacrosse, time is not wasted in practice by sitting around and talking on the sides. Instead, during a track practice you are almost always running/working, thus making track practices harder and much more efficient. Also, it is much harder to achieve honors in track such as all-state or all-american.
While track is a team sport, it is also widely seen as an individual sport. Each runner measures there own success by improvement from race to race. There are no benchwarmers in track; everyone races, but it is only those who work hard who will succeed. You get out of track what you put into it. For the most part, you are your own coach. You will determine how much you will improve and how successful you will become in this sport.

Is a sport where you are running different races while wearing tight shorts. It is also the only sport where you take your pants off to run. Sometimes your coach will be evil and only care about the county championships. But all u gotta do is not care. Finally if ya can't run DO SHOTPUT!!!!
Track is the only sport where you take your pants off
My track coach only cares about counties
In track I run 800 meters

"Track" in the context of music simply means a song. A reference to the track on a compact disc. "Track" could also refer to an individual instrument track in the song.
The new track from Neptunes uses the exact same snare and kick drum samples as they've been using on their last 10 tracks.
