Track and field is one of the oldest sports and was invented in 776 B.C. ]]> 2021-07-08 19:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642326783 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642327296 There are so many events in track and field ranging from all different kinds of distances. There are 44 different events you can choose from. ]]> 2021-07-08 19:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642327296 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642329134 Back in the day, Long jumpers had dumbbells in their hands to ease their momentum, and on the flying part, close to the landing, they would throw them backward. The dumbbells were used to help them perform a jump as long as possible. The long jump was part of the first Olympics in Ancient Greece and, also, was on the list of track and field events at the first modern Olympics in 1896. ]]> 2021-07-08 19:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642329134 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642329290 Diana is a very well know Hispanic athlete who competed in the steeplechase at many levels. Martin’s main event is the 3000-meter steeplechase. She competed in the 3000m steeplechase in the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics where she and she ran her best time of 9:35.77.

In 1865 it then turned into a flat field instead of hills being involved. The origin of steeplechase is traced back to the United Kingdom. Runners would race each other from the town's church steeple to the next. ]]> 2021-07-08 19:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642334684 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642338959 The first-ever steeplechase on the track at the Olympics was in 1920 with only men competing in this event. It was not until 2008 when women’s steeplechase was added to the Olympics due to people being worried their uterus would fall out as the women jumped over the barriers. ]]> 2021-07-08 20:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642338959 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642346140 2021-07-08 20:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642346140 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642349472 2021-07-08 20:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642349472 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642351313 This race is totally different than all the other events in track and field. Marathon running is a long-distance race on a road, and it takes both mental and physical strength. A marathon takes years of training at high-intensity mileage, some athletes do close to or even over 100 miles a week when training. ]]> 2021-07-08 20:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642351313 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642351704 She is very impressive with her times and accomplishments in her career as a marathon runner. Marta times not only for the marathon but other track events consist of “1k: 2:53, 1 mile: 4:46, 5k: 15:19, 10k : 31:00, Half-Marathon: 1:08:59, and Marathon: 2:24:33.” (Strava). ]]> 2021-07-08 20:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642351704 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642353868 2021-07-08 20:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642353868 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642358626 2021-07-08 20:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642358626 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642360187 This event is very unique and is a very hard event to perfect. Nowadays the long jump is the process in which you combine strength, speed, and agility and see how far you can jump, so it is like it was back in the olden days but now the dumbbell is not part of this event. ]]> 2021-07-08 20:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642360187 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642363019 2021-07-08 20:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642363019 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642365339 The 3000m steeplechase consists of barriers and a water pit scattered around the track and athletes have to run around the track jumping over the barriers and jumping into the water pit which is 12 feet long and located on the curve of the track. ]]> 2021-07-08 20:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642365339 ajp02675 https://padlet.com/ajp02675/3ux328jgj00hnmid/wish/1642374239 Abby Perry
