I joined the cross-country team for Wayland Middle School a while ago, and I've been doing great! Our track is 1.6 miles long, and it goes on and off school property, from the field to the surrounding neighborhood. Other tracks are longer, because the range is 1.6-1.8 miles long. On my first run, I got sixth place, fifth in my school. I've also gotten eighth and tenth on other runs. Because of my cross-country running, I have decreased my mile time from 6:59 minutes to 6:20 minutes and I plan on, eventually, running the mile in under six minutes. :)
During lunch on certain days, I participate in the Juggling Club. There are a range of items to juggle, such as balls, clubs, and...well, more balls. There are also devil sticks and diablos. I can juggle fairly well with balls, and so I have started trying the diablos. There are two sticks with a string connected to them. There's a sort of double ended triangle thing that spins on the string, and you do tricks with it. I'd give you a link to someone who's good at them, but, funny thing, I can't find anyone!
