Is It Time To Talk Track and Field Yet? (Sorrynotsorry)

There is a lot to be excited about with the upcoming Olympics. I mean, this website's name is "Light the Cauldron," so there's not much that beats Olympic talk. However, it is not a good idea to miss out on all the stuff that's leading up to the Olympics. Know your athletes! See their conquests! Understand who they are and where they came from, and make your mind up about them before NBC narrows your fandom to its handful of profiled athletes. This is the season of Spring. Winter sports are just about done, and the sports that feature in the summer Olympics are starting to ramp up. Which, of course, means that I start waxing poetic on track and field. (Wait - I've already been doing that? Well, whatever. Now it's outdoors.) It's easy to watch track and field because it's on or around an oval track. Marathon viewing is easy because the cars can lead the runners on, and cameras are easy to find. But have you ever watched cross country?
