Track athletes compete for Waldo

By Heriberto Padilla

Track is a very interesting sport. I know a few people that are in track. The events I know are shot-put, 400 meter run, and 100 meter run. Many of the people from track were participating in the all city track meet last month. All events are at different high schools depending on which school is hosting. Not all schools get to compete against each other in the all city track meet.

Here are some questions and answers:
