If this was the HEPS, he would have been DQ'd. See Jimmy Wyner.http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3007879

Celebrate after the race and in a way and location that aren't disrespectful to the other runners. Great achievement, but that never justifies celebrating before the race is over.
Maybe punishing fun is why the Ivy teams and individuals suck now.

Justin Knight celebrated the whole last 100 meters like a total dbag. I was kind of hoping he'd trip.
God forbid someone celebrating and showing excitement about the biggest accomplishment of their life.
I'd say 9th at the World Championships is a bigger accomplishment.
It's been a good year for JK
Nobody in Canada cares about this, "native born" nonsense.
This is really childish.

Racist?
So by pointing out that this black Canadian NCAA champ was born in Canada and the other black Canadian NCAA champ (Simon Bairu) wasn't born in Canada, somehow we're being racist?
Can you explain that to me?
Not racist... but definitely discriminatory. You’re outing people through very arbitrary and generally meaningless identifications to make something out of nothing.
Justyn Knight is Canadian, but him being born in Canada has no significance over any alternative.
If you’re trying to point out the advantages and impacts of East African runners nationally please be more transparent. Maybe “Justyn Knight (a normal black man) Becomes 2nd Canadian NCAA Champ” would have been a more suiting title.

110%!!! Canadian born people become Americans. American born people become Canadians. Immigrating takes more effort than just the luck of being born somewhere.
Here's something to think about. On September 24, 1988, Ben Johnson was 100% Canadian. The pride of Canada and a Canadian hero. On September 25, 1988, the press said he was no longer a Canadian. He did wrong, but he was also treated shamefully by Canadians.
What were Justyn Knight's high school prs? Was he really only 4:20/9:28? What about 400/800?
Pretty sure he had ran

No, that was Tyler Day.
JKnight ran 1:55/3:58/8:19 by his grade 12 outdoor school track season, but in the summer after grade 12 he ran 1:52.08/3:47.39/8:07.95/14:08.93
I know he ran a couple 4x400s, but I'm not sure what his best split was.

Wow that was a hell of a transitional summer into college!

Whoops- I forget to mention he ran 3:53 in grade 11- but yeah... he had some nasty races in the summer of '14

Is this the best NCAA XC finish for a 9:28 high school 3200 runner ever?

No, because that would not make sense as Simon Bairu won two titles just recently. He is a Canadian citizen, but born in Africa.

If they were white you wouldn't have even bothered checking where they were born.

Bairu was not born in Africa - he was born in Saudi Arabia. Came to Canada when he was 3.
Also, Rojo made a racist thread.
This is what we Americans are trying to really say about you
