Yes - I ran cross country and track in HS, and it was very much not a jogging club for people to get in better shape and have fun. We were training for races against other schools. Our coach was pretty laid back, but still, everyone knew everyone else's times, everyone had to compete in public in skimpy uniforms,etc.
