1. Rakitis still won the race. Braddock’s actions did not hinder him in any significant way.
2. There was no visible contact.
3. It was so gradual on the video and there is no movement acknowledging Rakitis’s presence (looking back, etc...) so there is no way to prove it was intentional.
Jackson Braddock needs to be allowed to run state (or whatever the next postseason meet is) by the NJSIAA. That was an egregious, entirely unwarranted disqualification by the meet officials.
It really doesnt matter. He just ran 8:48 at the Group Championships and is the heavy favorite to win the 3200 at the MOC. Who cares if he is not in the 1600.
It was actually a clear DQ.

Not according to the video that was provided. That’s not a justified DQ. No unfair advantage was gained on any other runner in the race and the only runner who could’ve been directly affected won. There’s no reason to DQ him.

He seems to care. He’s the one who made us aware of it and he was correct, he should not have been DQ’ed based on that video.
He already has a thread on it so this one is pointless.
You are also wrong. He clearly tried to interfere with the other runner. Show me in the rules where it says that as long as the other runner wins then it’s fine to cut him off.
Not to mention it’s just a tool move.

He did not clearly try to interfere with the other runner. He moved to lane 2 before the runner was in position to pass. You are allowed to do that. You cannot move to lane 2 to prevent another runner from passing you who is in the process of trying to pass you.

caring this much about a high school is pretty creepy, mr. sandusky
It’s pretty obvious what his intentions were. I’m not gonna argue it again in a new thread. Find the old one if you care so much
