It is only cheating if you get caught. Besides, how can you prove the kid rabbit the race and just didn't run the first 2-3 laps too hard?

Well if they tell everyone they were there to pace, wrote paces on their arm they were consulting and dropped out after pacing. Is there an official rule somewhere?
You lost, get over it
who cares

Bingo.
Pacing may be illegal in SOME states.
Being a whiney b!tch boy about it is frowned upon in ALL states.
If they were entered in the event they can run it however they like.
We always get people complaining cause we have our exceptional girl run with our other above average girls to beat everyone from the other teams. My point of view is if you don’t like it, beat them.
I know you are talking about where people drop out but really not much you can do.

Give me a break. If you're an adult- just let the kids run. If you're an athlete- just suck it up and race.
Snitches get stitches..

POTD right here
I really don’t understand the big deal. One time at our state meet, a kid in the 1600m almost got disqualified because his teammate ran a stride on the infield during the race and the officials thought he was pacing the runner. Officials look for any excuse possible to disqualify a high school kid, it’s ridiculous.
There have been kids in dual meets who split a 58 in the first lap of an 800 then jog the rest of the race but I’ve never seen it officially called.

Why didnt your kid run the pace that the kid had on his arm?

I think you mean "cite".
The word "site" is used when referring to a location. A construction site, for example.

Maybe you should go to a web site like Google and find it for yourself, whiner.
Pacing was against the rules when Roger Bannister ran the first sun four minute mile, but he had pacers. They just finished the race.
But you can't make someone finish a race and you can't rightfully disqualify the whole field because one person didn't finish the race.
So you can't make pacing "illegal".
Unless you are talking about someone not in the race running along side a competitor to pace that person.
That's totally against the rules and can get a DQ.

Was Bannister in HS? Come on at least with the putdowns lets make the relevant to the situation. I'm used to all the trolling but I thought maybe there was ONE intelligent answer among them, I was wrong.
OP, just because people didn't side with doesn't make them unintelligent. Hell, you don't even understand the difference between cite and site.
You are also pretty stupid to ask about HS rules on a message board such as this. Every state has their own rulebook, nearly always posted online. Start there if you want. But don't be that guy who tries to get someone DQ'ed for the crime of being faster than the kid of an anally retentive jerk.

No one is going to cite a rule for you. The rules are different in every state you did not say which state you lost your race in. In fact, there may not even be a rule to cite.
There are some dumb high school rules in different states, but I don't think pacing is illegal, as long as the athlete is entered in the event. I know I slowed down at a dual meet to pull a slower teammate to a PR. No one said anything about it.
This thread has been enjoyable to read, thanks for that.

My post was totally relevant because I showed how pacing can never be "illegal".
Unless it is done by a lapped runner, that is.
