Track & field is one of the last places in a school where the football captain, the valedictorian, the band kid, the wrestler, and the quiet kid who never thought he belonged can all wear the same jersey.
Track does not care what a kid’s last name is, how much money he has, what side of town he lives on, or how popular he is. Out here, none of that matters. Somewhere between the workouts, the bus rides, and the meets, kids who might never have spoken to each other start to build real respect.
It is hard not to respect somebody when you have seen what they are willing to push through and how much they are willing to give.
That is a big reason track & field will always mean more to me than just times, marks, and points.
@bentruetken Iowa's system does allow great athletes to compete in Spring sports (Track/Soccer/Golf/Tennis) AND Baseball. There have been alot that have done it, and wouldn't have otherwise.

This "nothing to play for" narrative in college football is ridiculous. So if you're not headed to the playoffs or national championship, there's no reason to play? Based on that definition, only 7 or 8 team should play out their seasons. It's a stupid take.
