Some would consider School Rumble a sports show, though they can't seem to make up their mind.

There isn't a lot of track and field in Suzuka, it's pretty much a romance show. But if sports themed romantic comedy/drama/slice-of-life shows fit the bill, there's Mitsuru Adachi's Touch, H2, and new for this season, Cross Game.
H2 AND TOUCH! I remember reading those Manga and loving them. I will have to hunt those ones down for sure.

Still open to other ideas if you have them, but thanks for all the suggestions ^_^

I would like to explain to those people that 1 episode of inter-class challenges does not = sports anime.

One outs, Princess Nine and cross game r defo recommeneded if u like sport genre.

Priness Nine sounds wierd at first, cos its about a girls baseball team, but afta i watched i proly, I feel its one of the best sport anime ive ever watched, its (to me) the most complete anime, the character build up throughout the series is perfect.

That myanimelist.net group is outstanding. Thanks for the reference. I have another question for everyone while we're on topic. A few years ago, I saw a couple episodes of a boat racing anime. It wasn't exactly a full size boat, it was more like a jet ski or wave runner type boat. If any of you know what that was, I'd love to know more about it... Was it any good?
