IF HAIKYUU!! WAS A TRACK ANIME

karasuno edition

a/n: this is my first time posting any of my headcanons, and i think about xctf!haikyuu constantly,,, it lives in my head rent free. i felt it needed to be shown to the world, but no one is really as into running as i am. enjoy!

notes: xc is cross country, a pr is a personal record, and steeplechase is the track event where the runner steps on a platfrom every 400ish meters into water.

other schools will be up next if the people like this one (steeplechase akaashi and pole vaulter kuroo run my life,,, also high jump iwa is *chefs kiss*)

sawamura daichi

- thrower on the track team (shot put), does xc

- 5k pr: 17:23

- all around type of guy. runs to be with his friends, but prefers throwing far more

- very passionate about everyone doing their lsd (long slow distance) runs. he calls people to make sure they did them every week. the anger this man feels when they tell him no,,, pure anguish

- once tripped on a root in his first year and is now incredibly cautious of his feet

- sort of a dark horse on the karasuno team, he’s good but no one knows

sugawara koushi

- sprinter in the spring (55, 100), does xc

- 5k pr: 18:17

- does arm workouts with daichi and asahi during xc season, has no reason to

- always complains about hills. i don’t know why but i KNOW this man hates hill days. he puts on a fake smile but whispers “i’m gonna [redacted]” in daichi’s ear right before they start. looks so tired.

- has been seen slapping people’s asses during practice, especially the second years.

- is the gay with the homies stereotype

azumane asahi

- thrower in the spring (y’all already know mans is BEEFY), does xc to be with his friends

- 5k pr: 18:34

- is frequently seen singing along to blondie during practice

- hates lsd runs so so much. noya made him do one once and when they hit mile ten he was about to fight anyone

- arm workouts with the third years are daichi and asahi minding their own business getting things done and suga on the floor on his phone giving them pop culture updates. tell me im wrong do it

nishinoya yuu

- runs the 400 almost exclusively in the spring, does xc to get out his energy

- 5k pr: 16:02

- frequently goes lost on the trails with tanaka, but they always manage to get back before 5pm,,, also he trips a lot

- once he rolled down a hill and has come to a point of saying “rolling thunder” whenever he trips in practice and during a race

tanaka ryunosuke

- also runs the 400 (and does the 400 hurdles,, he got hops) and does xc, i can just imagine those balls of energy being able to sprint for a really long time

- 5k pr: 16:03

- is very annoyed that at the end of the season he couldn’t beat noya

- refuses to wear anything extra under his uniform because he doesn’t want to deprive kiyoko of the view of his thighs

- shaved his legs once on a dare from noya. is still convinced it hasn’t regrown all the way (it has)

- tananoya don’t listen to music when they run they just talk about anything and it helps their stamina

ennoshita chikara, kinoshita hisashi, narita kazuhito

- 1600 in track, run of the mill distance runner ig,,, nothing spectacular. they do it all together. sometimes dabble in the 400 or the 3200, but they prefer the mile

- 5k pr: 19:54, 20:01, 19:57

- frequently seen jamming to mumble rap,,, they like when they can match their pace with the beat of a song

kageyama tobio

- STEEPLECHASE!!! he’s one of my steeple boys <3, does the 800 occasionally too to beat oikawa, also runs xc of c

- 5k pr: 15:59

- chasing hinata at practice to little landmarks for no reason and waiting for ukai to tell them to slow down

- listens to podcasts when he runs because he likes the noise,, but he gets really lost really fast and just uses it as background to his dumbass thoughts like “my shoes are looser than usual” and “what size spikes are in mine right now” and “did my mom wash my leggings”

- mans runs in leggings thats canon and he sURE DOES at meets (only when its cold,, when its fine he lets those thighs breathe) like it looks so bad but he’s comfy so ok ig

hinata shoyo

- allllll the long distance events, 1600, 3200, 5k during track season too

- 5k pr: 15:51

- seen running his cool down at the same speed he did the whole race because he can’t quite stop for some reason

- runs to like heavy metal and like screamo because hes convinced it makes him faster when actually he just gets scared and it makes his heart race,, seems to be working though

- he wears a shirt under his uniform tank top and its always some gross clashing color,, says his mom makes him wear it to keep warm

- actually does his lsd runs,, every day. but its super long and barely slow he just cannot stop going

tsukishima kei

- xc mostly, says track is too much work but ends up running hurdles every year, despite all of his protest

- 5k pr: 16:20

- listens to yamaguchi’s music when they run together, and they typically run together. seen slowing down to match yamaguchi’s pace

- shaves his legs for track/xc because he’s a firm believer in how it aids in his aerodynamics. kuroo and bokuto do it too,,, its a group thing.

- wears shorts under the uniform shorts because he doesn’t want anyone seeing his massiv- wears a shirt too he likes being covered

yamaguchi tadashi

- runs the 400, 800, 1600, and did a 3200 once because he’s not spectacular at anything and wants to find his niche,, solid with xc doe

- 5k pr: 17:52

- seen running around his general home area to get better because he wants tsukki to push himself <33

- he doesn’t wear anything extra under the tiny uniform because he’s more insecure about other peoples opinions than his body :(( poor baby
