track team

Runners and throwers

A track team is a group of athletes who compete together in track and field events—sprints, distance running, hurdles, relays, jumping, and throwing.

The term usually refers to school or club teams: She joined the track team her freshman year.

Members train together but often compete individually, with points aggregated for team standings.
