I've caught enough references in other posts, but just curious how everyone spent those wonder years.

I was on the tennis team in high school, but I wasn't any good. It might as well have been renamed to the drinking team.

I didn't do much of anything, other than party, in high school. And it only got worse in college.

Multi letter athlete here.

I also got a letter for band

Three of my four years in CC we were state champs. (I had nothing to do with that though) Four year in basketball, 3 varsity (we rarely won a game) and one year softball for the school...
edited since I AM an idiot, and can't do the small letters/colors thing right

im with keltic, is marching band a sport?
i was in the color guard and we did bust a$$. i was in the best shape and looked pretty good, minus the horrid tan lines... added bonus was playing with makeup to be "italian whores" one yr (music was by verdi), "blueberries" the next (some american composer), and "grapes" the last yr(another american guy...)
it was fun, and i mastered the art of completly changing from my uniform into my warm up suit without showing any uneccessary skin.
its also funny to remember the explicit sexual undertones of almost every comment and prop used in the shows...

I was multi-sport in HS and single sport in college. I have NO idea where my letterman jackets are.
I also always had the highest GPA in HS and was in the engineering and computer science programs in college. So, "shout out" to all the Mathletes that are representin and standing up to those Numba Haters out there!!!

In high school I was a pretty strong academic student (a geek I guess.. ) and took part in many math contests (matheletes rule!!) and also some chemistry and physics contests in grade 12. Sportswise, I joined XC in grade 11 although I sucked big time since that's when I first got into running. I got much better after high school since that's when I got serious about the training. I joined track during my final year but I didnt really enjoy short distance running and therefore hated it. I was at one time in the school's mtn. bike club and had loads of fun riding the trails, and also in the badminton team in grade 10 but didnt like that either. I was also a member of the outdoor/hiking club in grade 10/11 before it stopped operating during my final year. HS seems so long ago even though it's only almost 3 years since I got out of there.
