I’m just being real- Menlo is not making it into the top 3, but they could probably beat Oaks Christian but that is as far as they go. Solid three but everything onwards need some work.
Jack Paradise was DQ’d. It was unfair and biased. There were multiple false starts today in other races and he was the only runner DQ’d.
He had been GO’s number 1 scorer all season and #2 to Jacob Brown at CIF SS Finals. To say it was heartbreaking is an understatement.
Why would anyone false start in an xc race? That's a pretty dumb thing to do. How hard is it to just stand there and wait for the gun?
Adrenaline, nerves, lost balance? I don’t know, but it happens. A pretty dumb thing to do is to rob a senior of his last cross country race without warning.
