I'm a track and field athlete! It's so much fun to run, jump and throw things! 
That's kind of nice.. I'm jealous, I wish I was in that kind of shape. What exactly do you do?
Our events are held at a local stadium with a track and grass field for the jumping and throwing events. I enjoy the running the most!
I actually do a bit of running myself, although just to stay in shape, and I'm not crazy good at it yet. So, what's something more specific about this track and field stuff you could tell me?
There are a few jumping events that I participate in, including the long jump, triple jump and pole vault. As for throwing, I participate in the shot put, javelin and discus events!
This is all really broad to me.. anything you can tell me to help narrow it down?
Well, typically I compete in pentathlons, which are five events. Usually there are 2 running events, a throwing event (like shot put) and a jumping event (like the long jump). Whoever gets the highest combination score, wins!
oh so everyone does everything, gotcha. Is there one more fun fact you could tell me?
Sure thing! Even though I participate in solo events, there are also often relay races where teams of four compete in the competition. So, it's also a team sport!
Ah, very cool. This has been very informative
