<p>@Patton370, the OP says he practices cello 4-5 hours per day. That is a huge commitment. And if the OP is getting a PE exemption for track, then it won’t save much time to drop track, because he will have to pick up PE instead (I assume. Our athletes are required to take PE, so I don’t know how this works). </p>
<p>@OP, can’t you just stop being a long jumper? If you aren’t that good, you aren’t letting the team down because you weren’t going to win anything anyhow. </p>
