This is my sophomore year in track and I am a 400m runner. I am not very good, especially for my team. We are pretty good for d2 but i really make no difference on the team. My coach recruited about 6 new freshmen 200-800 sprinters all of which are seconds faster than me. I made the team only because it was a bad year I suppose. I am losing motivation for the sport when I used to be the terrible kid with a lot of heart. My coach said that I would ony be going to 3 meets to save money while the top runners will go to over a dozen. At the same time I am a physics student, my professor asked me to do research with him this year and I am dipping into some financial trouble. I may need a job that is more than a handful of hours a week. As someone who wants to go to graduate school I think that 2 practices a day has interfered with my grades at least a little. At the same time I love my coach, teammates and just proud of being fast (although im not very fast). Very hard decision if anyone can have some insight.
