did all texas high schools have to complete the fitness testing?
which schools did the pacer and which did the mile?
who else enjoyed laughing at the obese youth of america not in XC/T&F?

yea our school did the beep
test. it was pretty funny. i think
our team is doing it after the season

we were allowed to do it if we pleased. although my track team was tested in december. a few of us PR actually on the mile run. i ran the mile run last week and showed off for the most part. it was hilarious to watch all the nerds, fatties, and football players stuggle

Did anyone else find what I bolded ironic and amusing?

No offense meant of course

how many beeps did u guys get?

I teach 4th & 5th grade PE at my old elementary school, I had 2 fourth graders well over 65 beeps. I'd anticipate any runner could take the pacer further. I want to try, but my school is doing the mile. Any idea how they chose one or the other? Time management? [Probably because we have 2200 kids to test haha.]

What's the beep test and what are beeps?

Pacer test. Basically.

Beep. Run. Make it to the end of the basketball court. Jog In place. Beep. Run back, repeat. If you don't make it to the end of the basketball court before the beep, that is one strike. If you get three strikes, you have to stop.

I got into the 80s when I did it in elementary school and they had me stop because it was taking too long.

80 was the limit for us. Only I and another guy finished it.

I did 81 as a 14 yr old 7th grader.......

I think we did this in elementary school
me and 3 other kids got to 100 a couple of times, and now that i think of it all of us run cross country right now haha

Maybe 80s was over exaggerating, but they did have me stop because it was taking too long. We used to run a mile once a week then and they would hand us popsicle sticks for every lap around the school we did. I used to run by people and hold up my popsicle sticks.... not a lot of people liked me in elementary school.

The same people who made me stop during the pacer test also told me that I shouldn't be too competitive when we played games.
