This actually happened in 3200m at Arizona HS State Championship

Az Spectator · 2025-05-13T11:04:14-04:00

At the State Meet last week, right before the guys were going to the line, they told about 6 kids they hadn't checked in so they could not race in the final. They held those kids out and ran the 3200 without them. A few of the boys said they HAD checked in but the officials held fast and kept the boys out of the race. When they told those 6 kids they could not run, a few other kids, including last year's state champ, did not run in protest of the decision which was made seconds before the gun went off.At some point, the AIA officials figured out that THEY were the cause of the problem and the boys had actually checked in correctly. Unfortunately, the race had been contested and the 6 boys never got to race.About 30 minutes later, the AIA announced that the boys were going to be allowed to run 'after the 4 X 400' in another 3200. But just those 6 boys were going to run. The AIA officials decided that this second group would not be counted in the medals or the points for the meet. Coaches from the actual final were told that these boys were just getting a chance to run for time. Some coaches even volunteered to race their kids again if the second group was going to be scored. But officials said they would not score the second group so only those 6 kids ran. The kids that walked off in protest never got a chance to compete.They never handed out the medals or had an awards ceremony for the actual 3200 final nor did they ever announce the results from the 3200.The next day, they inserted the results from BOTH races and announced the 'State Champion' would be from the second group. One kid had run 2 seconds faster than the winner of the 3200 final.The AIA could to have gotten this more wrong. About 20 coaches filed protests which the AIA ignored. So the kid that won the actual State Final is being ignored. The whole thing is unreal. Anyone have any more detail on this? Seems like a lot of mistakes were made.

Who knows the name of the 2024 3200m who voluntarily refused to run in an unfair race. what an amazing kid. He deserves to have his heroism recorded. my hat is off to him. what an amazing story.
I could not respect him more no matter how fast he runs. His courage refuse to run is legendary.
