World star xc
In his qualifier to nationals, super rising star Joey Defeo, two days after tempoing a 24:59 5 mile tempo on a all slightly uphill route near his home, got punched and pushed down 1.5 miles into the race, as his attacker was scared that Joey would qualify onto nationals and ruin his chances of winning. Joey roughed on and still managed top 30, despite having a broken jaw and being trampled.
