Well, I do long distance track, which usually is considered a lot harder than sprints, and I do sprints, and both have great benefits. It kinda depends on your body build, which one is easier. If you are the leaner, skinnier type with lots of energy, and are really ready to push yourself, go for distance track. If you are more of the type with a lot of muscle build, and can exert all your energy into one really good run, do sprints. But middle distance is pretty good too, it combines both. And yes, it is really fun, and from experience, a lot of people I know to be in JROTC run track as well. The Avatar is a character from, uh, willy wonka I think? The quote is, "Oh, you hate drama? Please, keep dramatically telling me about it."
