Banquet Poems:

2009:

O Track and Field

O Field and Track

The characters on this team we do not lack.

Each athlete on this team must play their role,

Even those weird ones who use a pole.

We come in all sizes and shapes

Starting with the throwers who are as strong as apes.

We have the distance runners who run forever

And the sprinter types who say to those miles, "Absolutely never!"

We have the jumpers who have springs in their feet

And each must do their best on the day of the meet.

When you put in the work from July to June

You'll have the chance to see Target in the light of the moon.

So whether it's friends, competition, Arcadia, buses, or the "Cool Runnings" theme,

You're pretty much always welcome on the Washington High School Track and Field Team.

2010:

Run, Jump, Throw, Dig Deep,

This is the motto our team wanted to keep.

In order to rep the orange and black

We showed up every day inside of Tak.

With our short shorts on and our laces tied tight

We toed the line ready for a beastly dog fight.

Our muscles looked ripped and our hearts pounded in our chest

As the competition looked on to see us at our best.

The throws were astounding and the jumps surprised all

With their graceful beauty that made the spectator's jaws fall.

But the season is over and we all did fine,

So let's just sit back, relax, feast, and dine.
