Last year at a meet, we didn't have enough batons, so our coach had one of our 4x400m men's teams run with a rolled up piece of cardboard. What kind? Chicken, Beef, Pork? Don't spare the details man!!Actually, a home meat is one of the lesser know events in track. Each participating team has three people in it a runner, a jumper, and a thrower who represent the Olypmic motto, "citius, altius, foritus" (faster, higher, stronger). Right before the start of the race, a deer (or some other animal) is released for each team. The teams are then required to chase down and capture their animal, run 400m around the track with it, then successfully kill the animal and make a three course meal using the meat in at least two parts of the meal. The team with the fastest time and most delicious meal according to the judges wins.In other news I have a home track meet this weekend, where I will be competing in the pole vault, 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. We unfortunately will not be holding a home meat competition. Despite our abundance of them, we could not find enough deer for all the teams participating.
