Move over band geeks, here come the jocks!!!  I ran track a few years, played softball, volleyball, and swam. I was on the swim team for 5 years in HS, and then swam in college. |

who says you can't be both?  I swam my sophomore year and did field my junior and senior year. I wanted to do field hockey, but my mom wouldn't let me because it conflicted too much with marching band. |

I was in the band, but also did softball and basketball (yuk....I got recruited because of my height but I was terrible and our team was terrible). I did private swimming club, and was on swim team in college.

School ping pong team, basketball, volleyball, soccer, swim, roller skating. I am still very athletic  My interests have shifted though. I do more of rock climbing, zip lining, canoeing and white water rafting. I lead the ping pong team for my company in corporate tournaments and I play basketball occasionally. |

I'm with Jen. You can be a geek and a jock. I lettered in track and played soccer in a league outside of school. As an adult I ran 10 k's for years.

I was on the swim team and in cross country for a couple of years. Not very good at either.
Now I'm in roller derby. Better at that. ;D (We won our first home bout last weekend!)

Track and Field from 6th grade through freshman year of college. Cross Country in high school. A variety of other sports in Jr. high. I was also in the band (although we did not have a marching band because we had no football team) and a whole bunch of other things. Keeping busy took away the boredom of high school.

I never thought of cheerleader as a sport. Did that in HS as well as college. Did college gymnastics for one year.

It was really odd in cross country.

Softball and field hockey in high school.
Nothing in college - too much to do between schoowork and a part-time job for three straight years.
Adult - run, cycle and swim, the last one competitively.
