Chapter 416: The Great Ocean

Yale University Sports Center, New Haven, Connecticut, USA

"Hey, Mia, you see, your players are lining up in the front, and with these newcomers who come to select and want to join the team, run circles around the track, can you run around the track a few laps to join the football team, this selection criterion is too commonplace, right?" Alice yelled loudly, and she didn't regret it, if it weren't for Mia Suter's best friend and best friend, she and Fisher might have been in the team running laps on the sidelines, right? As the saying goes, things gather people in groups, the United States is a very developed capitalist society, and it is also a very realistic society, even if the classmates who have been together since middle school, they can play together, most of the family backgrounds and conditions are different, and Cinderella will naturally not appear in Bai Fumei's small circle.

This is not a problem of snobbery, this is a social reality that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, Alice Johnson's grandfather and father are both billionaires in the United States, and the history of the Johnson family in the United States can be traced back to 200 years ago, the most famous is naturally the 1963 President of the United States Lyndon Johnson, and Fisher's grandfather is still a U.S. senator, and his father is a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Of course, Alice and Fisher are a little worse than beauties like Mia Suter, but when the three beauties are together, it is natural to attract attention.

"Alice, do you want to go to the lap too? You, a tennis expert, always have the body to run three laps around the track, right? I remember when you were in middle school, you even won the third place in the state junior 800m, right?! "Fisher is good at sports not tennis but squash, of course, because she wants to be Mia Suter's sparring partner, she and Alice's tennis level is also quite good, with doubles also won the third place in the school games, the United States is a world sports power, and high school and college are the cradle of the growth of well-known American athletes, Mia's three girlfriends are not any sports can stand out from the crowd, for example, tennis singles, Mia Suter can shoot the top three at Yale, but he just can't enter the finals, The top two are both ranked in the top 10 college players in the country.

"I didn't go, I was running in a stinky sweat and so many people were running together, and the coach could clearly see who was who? I think it's you, a little hoof, who wants to go to Coach Django to offer treasure, right? But your fitness hasn't been much lately, and you've gained a few pounds, right? Go up and run laps, don't pull at the end, it's shameless...... Mia, you said that today, how many of the more than 150 newcomers here can be selected? Alice asked Mia as she pinched Fisher's belly.

"It's strange that laps work, and I found 11 track and field athletes on the football field...... I look at this guy, he may be using running circles to make the girls who are ready to join the football team to earn training allowances retreat, although the Yale women's football team can't be said to concentrate 100% of the football essence of the girls in the school, but in the past few years, it has also absorbed outstanding talents, otherwise it will not play to the top four in the league, but compared to those famous schools that recruit sports students, the tradition of Yale football is too short, and the top four is almost the current limit...... The girls at Yale Women's Soccer only train in their spare time and only play on weekends, so their main focus is still on their studies, isn't it? ”

Mia bit her lip and looked at the crowd running laps on the field with mixed feelings, football is a sport that she loves and has paid sweat and hard work for, and it is also a sport that she has gained popularity and achievements in the United States, because there is no women's football competition in the Olympics, and the next Women's World Cup will not be held until two years later, Mia Suter, who has graduated from Yale Law School, is likely to have become a lawyer rather than a semi-professional women's football player, so Mia is in a sad mood, and she doesn't know if her choice will leave regrets......

The Yale University Sports Center has a standard oval 400-meter plastic track, so three laps are equivalent to running 1200 meters, and the girls of the Yale women's football team are used to one of the warm-up exercises for each training session is to jog around the field three times, so under the leadership of the interim captain Audrey, the 21 current women's football players are neatly lined up to run at the front of the team, and the 152 newcomers who are recruited to participate in the selection behind them are much messy, and everyone's steps can keep up with the first half of the circle. After a lap, more than a dozen girls had already stopped with pale faces and sweaty crutches, apparently the lack of exercise and sufficient preparation made these girls give up the courage to continue gritting their teeth and persevering.

In the second lap, there were more than 30 girls who couldn't keep up with the rhythm and speed of the Yale women's football girls, and they fell behind and pulled behind, and almost all the girls on the 400-meter track were left behind. Of the remaining 120, 60 were left behind but made it to the finish of the race, while the rest gave up on lap two and lap three.

Seeing that it is only the first test project to jog three laps, so many people will be eliminated, the mood of the Yale women's football girls is both proud and a little reserved and uneasy, and they are afraid that Coach Django will underestimate the athletic talent and ability of the Yale girls because of the unsatisfactory test results, of course, as well as the quality of will, etc., this mood is very contradictory, as the object of being challenged and competed, it is said that the Yale women's football girls should be happy to see the newcomers eliminated, but just run three laps and eliminated 120 people, It's always a bit of a feeling like a Yale student.

"Coach! Could it be that we will be eliminated if we can't run 1200 meters? On the football field, it's not just about who can run, and everyone in the girls has a different physical condition. Besides, you Yale women's soccer team members ran too fast at the beginning and disrupted our rhythm, if we were prepared, we would never run out of breath and the result would be so ugly! "A girl who is a little thin and can't straighten her waist almost didn't cry, she happened to be menstrual in the past two days, and her stomach twitched from time to time and her face was discolored, so she was among the people who gave up after running half a lap at the beginning, and it was obvious that she was not convinced.

"Girls, please be quiet, I have the final say in the Yale women's football team this year, but the good news is that the door of the football team is open at any time, today is just our first selection, I plan to give the girls a chance to participate in the selection every Friday afternoon in the future, of course, some indicators will be used as a threshold, for example, 1200 meters must run into 3 minutes and 40 seconds, most of you have not been able to reach this indicator today, some may not reach it in a lifetime, you must know that this is only the standard score of American middle school students......"

Jiang Yelin's words made these girls who thought they were eliminated breathe a sigh of relief, many people's faces were obviously quite impressive about their running speed and endurance, in fact, the difficulty of middle and long-distance running is much higher than that of sprinting and long-distance running, which is why many track and field athletes would rather practice boring long-distance running and give up the 400 meters, 800 meters and 1500 meters of the three tests of speed and endurance. It's definitely a test that can daunt even the best players, compared to a 12-minute run.

"Coach! Are you telling the truth? Is there a chance to test and join the training every week? That's just great, I'm not in good health today, when I come over, it's absolutely no problem to run three laps in 3 minutes and 20 seconds......" A half-human girl with a freckled face jumped up happily on the spot, if it weren't for the Yale women's football team members who were separated by a few guardians, the girl could rush up and hug Jiang Yelin's neck and kiss her fiercely.

"Coach, there are not many opportunities to run hundreds of meters in football, for women's football players, 60 meters is already a long-distance run, most people only need to run less than 30 meters at a time, sprinting is my strength, I ask to compete with the official members of the Yale women's football team! 10 meters, 30 meters or 60 meters! I'm sure I'll outrun them! A petite Jamaican girl couldn't help but grumble.

"You're right, but the test is just a way to let the team know your basic fitness and willpower, well, as you wish, all the girls who have just been eliminated, if you want to join the team, you can add a 30-meter run, you can pick any Yale women's soccer girls as opponents, run a 30-meter sprint in a one-on-one game, and run with your maximum speed and strength. To be fair, you can also choose the 32 girls who just ran the 2nd Good Afternoon with the team, and they passed the first level of the test, so there is no reason to be afraid of your challenge in the extra game! ”

Jiang Yelin's statement made all the girls on the field overjoyed, many people regard middle-distance running as a flood beast, but if you run 30 meters, it is estimated that everyone dares to compare with others, maybe the opponent you pick is not as fast as yourself? Doesn't that mean that sister, I join the team at least one event that is better than those regular players or players with excellent endurance?

At this time, many boys who got the news of the Yale women's football rookie selection at the sports center also came to the courtside, some of them accompanied their girlfriends to watch the show or simply participated in the selection at the beginning, and the other wave was students from other Yale University-sports teams, such as the Yale men's soccer team players and their girlfriends who ranked at the bottom of the NCCA Collegiate League, for example, the players and family members of the Yale football team, basketball team, and volleyball team. For American college students who have completed their love and life enlightenment in high school, except for a very small number of otaku, the vast majority of them have a boyfriend or girlfriend in college.

In addition to the freshmen who are still in the transition stage of saying goodbye to high school lovers and making college lovers, other boys and girls from the second to the fourth grade, if they are lonely and even have a lover, they really have to hide and walk out of the dormitory and dare not greet people, and they can't afford to lose that face, so the big playground of the Yale University Sports Center has become a sea of crowd noise at this time.
