Rowing sprints
Sprint races, as in Olympic regattas, are the most straightforward form of racing between rowing crews. All the crews start together, race down a straight course, usually 2000 metres long, and the first to cross the finish line is the winner. The rules for such races are therefore not particularly complicated.

The Beginning of My Love for Track and Field
Running is a sport that you can try at any age. You could start at kindergarten or be a first time runner at the age of 25. It can be done - it is just a matter of how much you love it and are motivated to continue the sport. At what age do you become a runner? For myself, I decided to try it at a young age and it became my best sport. I began my days in Hershey Track in the 4th grade. The first year I was on my own because my sister and brother did not seem interested. Being the oldest in my family, I tried a season of track in the summer of 1986. It is not easy to remember it, but there are some parts I can remember. It was the beginning of my love for running that would follow me for many years.

Crusade Against the Aged
CRUSADE AGAINST THE AGED It was pissing down when I ventured into the herb garden for my chives. Pissing down and dark, as if the sky couldn’t get any darker when facing the Sun. But it could. To the West I saw them, approaching menacingly. They had found us. Wave after wave of Enforcer Aircraft, blackening the sky within seconds. I ran for my shelter, dug into the ground on the first day I had arrived on the island. Through the tiny slither I had fashioned as a lookout, I could see the carnage unfolding in front of me. Island inhabitants being murdered by The Enforcers. Just being gunned down where they stood, or in the back as they tried to escape. Dressed all in black from head to toe and faces behind disguising helmets. It was difficult to ascertain if the murderers were Human or Droids. They must be Droids, there were hundreds of them. There couldn’t be that many Humans in one place that could kill so happily.
