Track wasn't half as strict as football, coming from Texas.
(Our high school stadium was (is) built to seat 20,000 fans, for high school games... (Ratliff Stadium). Our small city population (Odessa, Texas), at the time was about 85,000.)
(no worries gals, just pinging Texans for football 😉) Here is the cover:

Yes, yes: I have heard about this field game called "football." I'm sure that it's fun to watch for a few innings. But would you please reply to my question?
If you felt that your coach was unfairly forcing you to compete in races for which you were unsuited, and you were suffering significant discomfort and even medical problems (nausea, vomiting) as a result of that, why didn't you just run a little slower?
