Running (track & field / Cross country) do you see it as a sport? Do you see runners as athletes? Specifically runners who complete at college level?

I've been running since sophomore year high school but only till my senior year did I take it seriously and continued in D1 college. Runners from my perspective are athletes, they may not be your typical athletes who play objective sports, I believe running in some sort is also is an objective sport with tactics. However there's a large population who don't believe so. Your thoughts?

sure i do, it deserves recognition like anything else. people put effort into it. as someone who used to run track i know what goes into it. lol people who don't believe so clearly don't watch the olympics.
