Ah, The Hardest Team to Make – also known as “The Beijing Meal Ticket” or “The I-Deserve-a-Superhero-Cape Crew.” Yes sirree bob – this group of super duper stars is the real deal. But really, The Hardest Team To Make? I mean, anybody with two legs and half a brain can run, right? Wrong.

You see, it’s like this. Since so many people can run, so many have the chance to find out whether they are truly great runners. There are like 925,000 track athletes strutting the halls of high schools across this nation, and only 125 of them will ever be able to say- without perjuring themselves- “Hey, I’m a professional track superstar.” You wanna think of it in terms of odds? Ok, that’s a 1 in 7400 chance. Yeah, eat your heart out basketball, football, soccer, and swim teams – the numbers don’t lie, percentage-wise these teams are way easier to make.

So it boils down to this: out of a colossal pool of track athletes, only the best of the best emerge, and only the best of the best of the best get to join The Hardest Team to Make. That’s THE Hardest Team to Make, with an emphasis on the THE.
