Best Compliment Thread

Yeah, I was just kidding, RWS. If I ever get an article in the paper for winning any running event I will scan it, put it as my avatar, spam the PR forum with it, and then I will bump this thread until the end of time. Don't worry, it probably won't happen. But if it does I gave you guys fair warning.

It just bugs me that there is this kid on my team that gets his name in the paper for being the one of the top runners in the county when his 5k pr is only 6 seconds faster than me. I beat him in the 800. I beat him in distances over a 5k but he just has the 1mile to the 5k and he is in the paper and gets to be on the county all-stars team and all that.

eh. i got the "best freshman" award on my track team. i don't get the point of this thread though....

i got an article in the paper once...about me running the 100m no joke...i was completely joking around while running it too i was tired of the distance events and needed a little break from going in circles for 8 laps, but thats about it...and all the slow people on my team like worship me because they think im so fast but im really not that fast

I got "most dedicated" for cross country 2 years in a row. I'm not our fastest runner, I'm 7th, so that is cool to get most dedicated.

lol, you won?

I don't really get that many compliments... I'm not the slowest, but I sort of go unnoticed becaue I'm not really fast enough. I think the only thing my coach said about my running this year was "at least you're consistent" after my times at 4 different races in the mile were 6:00, 5:56, 5:58, and 5:54. yeah. that's basically the story of my life.

after reading this thread I went to track camp and 5 coaches from around the area gave me incredible compliments. I gotta say it felt pretty good. hard work pays off. but I just thought that was ironic.

Miler, I got the idea from an old RW thread and I got that compliment yesterday so I thought it'd be cool for some people to show off their talents.

Probably in XC.
After I had a really good race some guy said "you've got a future in running, kid"

I was like AW SHUCKS

no but apparently they thought it was a really big deal that someone ,i dont really follow sprinters, to beat me....they thought i was going to be like really good or something i guess

my best compliment probably came from the boys track coach [also xc coach] during indoor, when I was first getting started with track [first race]. he encouraged me as I raced & after the race. but it was mainly what he said to some other lady who works at our school. she ended up telling me what he said & it was just really encouraging. also, during track my coach said I was one of the most improved athletes he's ever seen. I know I'm not that good at running, but it's still nice to get the encouragement.

my best compliment was probably recieving the award of best scholar athlete, a boy also recieved this award too. it was at a school presentation and the principle went on to discuss how hard we worked for this award and how much of an accomplishment it is..getting mentioned in newspapers is always great too..

Ou school has an award like that too. They give it to a Junior boy and girl at the awards banquet. It always goes to people that are in the popular sports like football, basketball, and volleyball.

Most inspirational.. haha I have no idea why.

I cant think of the best compliment.

we give out paper plate awards.

i got weird dream award freshman year cause i had a dream a girl on our team died in a realllly weird way, and she was weird too.

and this year i got friends forever award cause i love the tv show friends and so does another girl on the team who was graduating so she said i have to pass it down to everyone else.

9:12? That sucks. My school's records are 4:32/9:48 so I'll have a bit of an easier time taking them down.
