Runner Tackles and Punches Another Runner at GLVC Championship

If you can't runner better than 1430 for 5k by the time you're 18 then you need to find a different sport.

Yeah, because the NCAA XC would do really well with like 100 total distance runners. Jackass.

My sources confirm the tackle and punches thrown. Here's a picture of the kid that got punched

Has anything like this happened before?

What the heck! Wow. Any video of the race?

i'd like to poop in that boys mouth and see if he would still talk sh*t

This is effing crazy...what's going to happen to him? Ban from competition? Expulsion?

homeboy about to get sued for assault / probably expelled. well done

seriously. could have just casually thrown an elbow or something.

I suspect he will never have to worry about someone getting in his space at the start of a race again b/c that is the last college XC race he'll ever run. Idiot!

The individual definitely should, and almost certainly will, be banned from the team. The other runner could file assault and battery charges if they choose. I wonder if the guilty party's team will face any sanctions as a result... Not a good decision my friend. He better hope his school doesn't get a hold of this and expell him. Poorly handled...

Individuals can't press charges against other individuals. Individuals initiate civil actions, not criminal charges.

Yelling for help from people hundreds of meters away and flailing your arms while your teammate gets drilled 1ft from you. Way to have your teammates back

Dats what Johnny Cochrane use to coach his athletes to do, just sayin

YAAAAAS GO OFF!! THIS IS 2015 TO THE MAX! YAAAAS THIS RACE WAS LIT FAM YAAAAAAAAAAS BERNIE SANDERS YAAAAAAS

but we all know the kid who threw the punch isn't that tough. He probably says things like "DAD WHY THE F!CK ISN'T THE DVR WORKING" when he's home.

Finally a runner with balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kid who got punched (Kameron Casey) still managed to get 17th with a 26:23. By the way, he's also the son of UIndy's XC coach. Not the best person on another team to punch. Heard it all started because the Truman kid was shoving another UIndy runner who took exception to it. The Truman kid and the other UIndy kid got into it, and both got DQ'd. Not sure of anything else other than that. UIndy would've been 3rd today if not for this incident. Hopefully Casey can recover from this by Regionals. He's had a great season so far. It'd be a shame to see UIndy's shot at Nationals end because of some idiot who decided to turn a cross country race into a MMA fight.

Thanks. The victim can notify the authorities of the incident, provide them with video evidence, and urge for the pressing of charges. As there are first hand accounts AND video of the incident it seems pretty open and shut. If the victim of the incident does none of this it is less likely anything would happen criminally. Then they could take civil action. Happy?

I doubt he was taking 3rd if he cant even take a punch
