Spankies!

I was doing some re-arranging in my room today and came across my old high school uniform (which I was probably supposed to return, sorry coach).

I remember the day my high school team got our new uniforms.

We were scared.

We had made the transformation from woman's running shorts to Spankies (see definition number six). Most of us were scared but we all saw this transformation as not only a new uniform but we now "looked" faster.

It's funny how something you wear can change your complete persona. Most of the fast teams in our Section have Spankies, and now we were a team to be reckoned with and we had the Spankies to prove it.

We decided to wear our new Spankies at practice the day before our first meet so we could adjust to them (after all from running in shorts your entire life to practically running in underwear in front of crowds of people can be a bit nerve racking at times).

As captain I probably should have picked a better place to warm up that day rather than around the soccer fields where we found the Men's Soccer team oogling over us as we strided by.

None the less Spankies are rather comfortable for race days, and most teams who race in them love them.

At the collegiate level we've mostly all changed to spandex shorts. These are the same material, but a lot more comfortable and a lot less revealing.
