EVENT SPECIALIZATION
- Choose an event area you want to be in, or think you can be good at
- What are your strengths? (speed, endurance, power, jumping) Each strength leads to a specific event area
- The learned (technical) events (hurdles, jumps, pole vault, throws, and even distances) take time to master—you must be persistent!
| SPRINTS 100m 200m 400m |
HURDLES 100HH (G) 110HH (B) 300IH |
| JUMPS Long Jump Triple Jump High Jump |
DISTANCES 800m 1600m 3200m |
| THROWS Shotput Discus |
POLE VAULT |
| RELAYS 4x100m and 4x400m – open to all event areas (but are ultimately determined by the head coaches) |

*Be careful not to try and master too many technical events in the first year—they are time-consuming.
**If you are a sprinter you should attempt to jump or hurdle. If you are fast in the 100m you can probably also long jump!
