Yesterday I was at a high school cross country meet that was being held at a nearby forest preserve. During the meet, there was spectator (most likely a parent) that lit up a cigarette. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything, but I couldn't help but think how inappropriate it was of him to start smoking. This got me thinking...
Given the nature of our sport (where it's not necessarily always on "school grounds"), should smoking be allowed at cross country meets?
