What is the difference between sprinting track shoes and cross country shoes?
Brian P asked:
I am doing track and cross country in high school. Do I need two pairs of shoes or just one pair of spikes?

I would recommend keeping one pair of track spikes and one pair of trainers.
Cross country spikes are meant for rough terrain, since we run on courses, and track spikes are meant for sprinting usually. I wore my trainers all throughout XC season, even for meets, and I did completely fine. I still use them to practice for track, but during track meets, I wear my spikes.
So you should probably get a pair of track spikes and a pair of regular running shoes to practice in. narutonamikaze
Cross country is for outside, and the shoes are made for distance,
Track shoes are spikes made to dig into the track
