When I was in HS and College, I would have love to have ran on the track team, but my lateral minuscus (knee) was injured or overgrown since birth. I had only realized this when I finally was able to get a doctor in Stockton to look at my knee and tell this to me. Growing up in SoCal, all my lame doctors would tell me was to "rub it and do some exercises with it". They would never do an x-ray or MRI to see what was causing my pain. I mean, I could only walk for 10-15 min at a time before I had to rest. As a little girl, my sister, Dad and I would join 5K and 10K runs in the San Gabriel Valley of CA. I loved it and that is why I wanted to join the track and field team in HS. But, my knee was getting worse, so the track coach asked if would like to do Discus, Shotput and Javelin. So, I trained for those events and did pretty well in them. Once in college, I attempted to run the stwich-back trail or train on that, which hurt my knee even worse. So, I decided to so Discus, Shotput and Javelin like in HS. Anyway, I did these events along with drill team my frosh/soph year in HS. What if anything, did you do outdoors?

I never was into the traditional sports. I was the one on the horse or with the animals. Now I am raising four kids... none who ride... all raise animals... but my son was the wrestler and my youngest two twin girls, play soccer, and one of them wrestles on the highschool team. she started two years ago in junior high on the all boys team til her... she never had the opportunity to wrestle another girl til her third year in (first year in HS). I am trying to learn more about The Girls High School Wrestling... Anyone have ideas for me?

Well, when in high school I was in the volleyball team.It was really fun and active sport to play. One year I jammed my finger and it turned all shades of purple so I was unable to play after that.

My alltime favourite sports was FOOTBALL during school and college days. Occassionally, I used to play cricket and table tennis.
