dc.description.abstract	Women of color are some of the toughest athletes to face sports. Not just through their physical capabilities but also their psychological capabilities. How black, female track athletes are viewed are less about performance and more about their physical looks from uniform to hair and nails and how their bodies look. This unfortunately begins at a very young age, starting as early as late middle school and increases the most in high school. This also includes different stigmas, assumptions and personal opinions about what these athletes are capable of and being questioned with performance enhancing drugs as these athletes grow into their collegiate-elite careers. The black female track athlete body is often compared to that of a man. This research will explore a new way to look at track uniforms at the high school level, where a lot of these issues begin, and seen for their abilities in a space that is judge free and encourages all forms of athlete expression.	en_US
