Got DQ'd for doing the "phone it in" celebration after finishing my race this Saturday.

You’re lying. The CIF finals, aka State Meet, has not been run (or, as many LRC posters would say, “been ran.” And, if you were in the 90’s or 100’s (I notice your apostrophe key works there, Liar-Boy), from what were you DQ’d?

To be fair, his story is set in the future. “This Saturday” hasn’t happened yet.

It was at the CIF finals. I stopped a few strides after crossing the finish line and did the air phone thing with my thumb and index finger while nodding affirmatively into the receiver. Then I "hung up". Later coach told me I was DQ'd.

I do not understand. I was just celebrating a PR. Ill admit it kind of looked like I was taunting the person that finished right behind. That was completely unintentional. I did not win by the way, in fact I finished probably somewhere in the 90's or 100's.

Learn how to use apostrophes. You come across as very un-educated when you write "III" when what you mean is I will or I'll.

Go back to the library, unless you are ill.

You got DQ’d because thumb and pinky is the approved celebration, not thumb and index finger.

Cut the kid some slack and don't be so hasty to jump to conclusions. The "CIF Finals" were held this past Saturday. At least the SS was. I can only assume that the other sections held their respective " Finals" meets as well. The top teams/runners go to State in Clovis this weekend.
