High jump

students choose to graduate high school in three years rather than four, they would have to give up all of their free time and summer vacation. If students graduate high school a year early and go to college the following year they will miss out on the full high school experience because they would have no free time, they would not have any electives, and they would not be able to have a social life. Students should not choose to graduate high school a year early because their high school years…

After many difficult, time consuming, painstaking hours of practice, it was the day of my first high school gymnastics meet. My team and I had been preparing for this all summer. Our dual against Emporia we were destined to win. Both my mom and my dad had came to watch me show off my hard work and cheer me on. That made me feel great, until it became time for me to compete on beam. Beam has never been my strongest event, but I can still pull off a no-fall routine in competition. As I saluted…

do short explosive things; its also good to make sure your body can last at least two hours in a game. Without energy it will affect your strength every single action in softball is an explosive action. Hitting, throwing, quick lateral movements, jumps off the bases and others are all explosive. They all contribute in one way or another to enhance performance in softball. Shoulder and back strength as well as the rotator cuff muscle group are important to throwing but the legs and the core (hips…

with them made me feel like I was living life to the fullest. When tryouts came we tried out in the afternoon. Some people had time to practice the tryout material before they were called into the building, which consisted of a cheer, chant, dance, jumps, and tumbling if you had any. We received numbers for the order we would tryout in, and it would be in groups of three. Ashley and I did not get to try out together so that made me nervous. Once I was called into the building I got the…

Private vs. Public Private schools have an extremely unfair advantage against public schools in high school sports. There are many reasons why this is unfair; one being that private schools can recruit. They also have a larger pool to pick from and can hand pick their team, while public schools are limited to the people willing to try out, and kids that go to a private school can focus on one sport because of the amount of talent recruited for other sports. While kids in a public school have to…

could try out the coach said, “you are too short and wimpy, sorry but you can’t play for us.” Jim did not give up and noticed the track team. He saw them practicing the high jump, so he asked if he could try it. He was told that he could but warned that they had a school record that was very hard to beat. Jim did the high jump and on his first try, he beat the school record. This inspired him to pursue track and he became the team Captain. He also thought that it might help him get onto the…

Would you want to attend a school that teaches you how to do death-defying stunts? This school is not for everybody, definitely not for me. Lots of people are scared of stunts and jumping off of high places, including me. I’m scared of roller coasters, I would definitely not want to jump off of something high or be set on fire. This school does lots of scary stunts, im pretty sure it is in a safe manner, but i’ll pass, imagine something going wrong, that would be so dangerous, because everyone…

Being a non traditional student can put a hold on anyone's education. Although students who are non traditional may not have the opportunity like everyone else. Most say it is normal to jump right into college after high school. Unfortunately student like these may have a full plate or trouble at home that is halting their college decision. Having a full time job to help at home, having a family at a young age, or simply just wanting to have a year off. Working a full time job can be very…

the same race. That’s it. Other than differences between high school and college, there’s no variety in XC.” (Maddie Verbeke) As for track the longest race distance is the 3200 meter run (2…

How would you measure how high a snake can jump? Well, snakes can not jump. So why is it acceptable to measure students’ intelligence by giving them a single test? Intelligence is the ability to retain information and apply it to everyday life. The snake is intelligent, but can not perform certain tasks that other animals can do everyday. One test is not a good representation of all of the time spent at school. There are students who can not take tests like other kids, they struggle. There are…
