What's the most fun event to do in track meets?

 

I'd have to say that the hammer is the most fun for both of those, followed only by 25 laps of fun, the 10,000. Notice that I'm referencing all of track, not just the events allowed at the high school level. These extra events, like the hammer, give us throwers something to look up to.

I liked the Distance Medaly Relay..i thought it was fun and intresting!

I always enjoy going down by the water pit and watching the 2/3k steeplechase from that perspective. About the 6th, 7th lap, you are seeing the tiredest of the tired in action.

I love running and watching the 4X800 myself. But, the 4X400 is another awesome event! It is soooooo fast and hype. Sometimes it decides who will win the meet as a team!

To me, the pole vault is fun to watch. Maybe the most athletic event in every meet.

Kenwoodrun: I give the steeplechasers a lot of respect. Those college beasts run that race in 90 degree weather or in 30 degree weather with a thin film of ice across the top of the water. It is tough to find better role models for guts.

It is an insane event. I ran it once....emphasis on ONCE. I didn't need any more steeple action after that race

I think that the triple jump is fun to watch. It shows balance and true athleticism when your able to jump in the air and use that same leg again and then finally your other leg. Then again I jump the 3x jump so im a lil partial.

The most fun event for me to watch is the Open 200 because when you see them turn that curve you can really tell who is still gaining speed or slowing down, and the most fun event for me to run is the 4x100,because it is the shortest relay and the part where you hand off your baton to the person in front of you, watching and cheering them on is very exciting

SteepleChase is awesome to watch, especially when people start showing off and doing frontflips off the beam into the water. I think of course the hardest events are pole vault, high jump, and triple jump. Pole vault just takes time. High jump...I've seen way too many people that CAN'T do it, and triple jump...well same as high jump, some people just get confused.

Ya, its the people who think "High Jump" is the code word for "Limbo" that make field events take so long at track meets.
