Agree with that, track has really fallen upon hard times. It was a sport that brought a lot of glory when I was a kid (we were competing against the Russians) and now, not very many kids do it. It is unfortunate that lacrosse is a spring sport, it really should be a winter sport, at least in California.

Title IX and things like women’s soccer and lawsuit-shy elimination of many throwing events sucked the money and interest out of track much more than soccer and lacrosse.

Don’t think that would work in the hotbeds, like Syracuse, New Jersey and Baltimore. Oh well.
