A source just called and told me that Michigan State sophomore Justine Kiprotich wasn't allowed to run at NCAAs today because he showed up at the start line without a big on his jersey (I believe he had his hip number on).
"Runner not allowed to race because he doesn't follow rules"
Pretty simple to me.
It's not the officials job to look out for a singular athlete, it's their job to make sure the rules are being followed and the event is run smoothly.
The fact that you think one of the most prestigious meets of the year should be held up for a single athlete is a joke.
Lesson learned - wear your entire uniform to the line.
