Good news.
Despite the “epidemic” of overweight youth, more are taking part in school sport in the States.
More than half the nation’s high school students participated in sports last year, and for the first time more than 3 million of them were girls.
The National Federation of State High School Associations released the results of its annual participation survey Wednesday, listing a record 7,342,910 high school athletes in the 2006-07 school year among its member associations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This the 18th straight year the number of participants has increased.
… Tennis, swimming and diving, archery, badminton, cheerleading, crew and gymnastics were among sports in which girls outnumbered boys.
