Should I leave my high school track team

Honestly I feel you. If running is all you care about then switch schools or even talk to a local college about righting you a plan. Goodluck

I've had terrible coaches. You can try to deal with it or give up. Neither are good options. If you're serious it may be worth the hassle to switch schools.

Don't put up with her nonsense. Talk with the principal and your parents.

What has she been doing exactly, and how did she prevent you from qualifying?

I like to be supportive as well like others here but I prefer to hear your story before taking sides. I am sure I have athletes that are not to happy with me either.

"too happy"

So for indoor we have 2-3 chances to run at the Reggie Lewis center which is a fast track. All the other meets are run on gym floors. The first meet I ran at the Reggie Lewis center I had the flu so my time in the mile was 4:50 and the time to get into States is 4:38 I believe. So I had one blown chance at qualifying. The next chance I had to run a fast time was at the freshman sophomore meet. But she told nobody on the team but a freshman girl (definitely her favorite athlete) who went and ran the two mile. So my third chance is at the state coaches meet but she doesn’t want to enter me in the meet. She also has absolutely no clue how to train me my weekly mileage is around 35 miles and my hard days consist of 200 and 400 repeats. I get absolutely no quality workouts and I just haven’t been running well since our old coach left after cross country.

I explained down below

Well you’re a 4:50 miler. What are you running on the “gym” tracks?

4:38 is not fast. She may feel like you need more training. Have you talked to her?

I ran 4:38.9 outdoor my freshman year and i ran 4:52 and 4:53 on the gym floors

You won't be a better runner by quitting your HS team (as a sophomore) and training on your own. Most states don't have indoor seasons for HS. Indoor is generally considered a pre-season to the outdoor track season in the Spring, so try to stick it out through the outdoor season this Spring. All training plans aim to have an athlete peak at the end of the outdoor season. If you are still unhappy with your coach or the training after the Spring, then consider making some changes. It's the coaches decision to enter the team in meets and who on the team gets to enter a meet. That's true of HS sports in general. If your coach sends some athletes to a meet and not you, and you feel you should go, then you can try to tell her politely that you are interested to go. But she has already made a conscious decision to not have you race. She hasn't forgotten you. Lots of HS runners over-race and get burned out, so she may be resting you on purpose. It's normal for HS athletes to complain about their coaches. Try talking to your parents also to see what they think. If there's an extreme situation of athletes getting injured or sick or running in dangerous conditions, then that's a reason to complain to the school athletic director, but it has to be more than you didn't get a chance to run in an indoor meet. Stay with it.

I was very independent in high school, and the only one on my team who competed at state.

This is what I would do.

1) Stop running on gym floors, as they could very quickly mess up your legs and you wouldn't be able to run anymore;

2) The indoor season is not important, and indoor tracks are harder on your legs and body. I would forget about the indoor season and put your focus on outdoor. Run on the roads, grass, dirt as much as possible, and the outdoor track. Stay away from running indoors.

3) Do your own training. You can run before, during, and after the regular practices, and adapt everything you do to fit into your own program. Also you can do this discretely, so it seems like you're doing her program, but you're really doing your own. Focus on yourself and what you are doing. The coach is not important to this, but you are.

Yes. You should. Leave this board as well.
