Aaron Sahlman was at Arcadia Invite tonight telling everyone he was pacing the boys 3200m after he won the 800m. Aaron Sahlman was never on the start list of the 3200m. The announcer at the race announced him as pacing as he dropped out right after the 1600m mark. The NFHS rules state:
Rule 4-5-9
Art. 8 It is an unfair act when a competitor receives any assistance from any other person. Assistance includes:
a. Interference
b. pacing by a teammate or persons not participating in the event
f. coaching a competitor from a restricted area
Will this disqualify Aaron from the 800m? does this void his results or effect the others in the 3200m? Or maybe does the NFHS not recognize it? Can anyone explain or have insight?
