Should I keep running track

I am going into grade 11 and decided to start running club track this spring in hopes of competing out of province. At my school meet I ran 57.2 in the 400. Which I thought wasn’t great but a great place to start and I have time to improve through high school.

I recently realized however, that because I was born in 2009 and held back a year for international reasons, that I would be aged out of most races quicker than I thought. As most meets cap out at grade 12 and I don’t think I have the time to improve in order to compete.

This really bummed me out and I’m not sure what to do.
