Did you hear about the craziness at Mountain West Champs? Air Force forgot to enter their entire squad of distance runners

rojo

This story is going to result in every college coach being unable to sleep for the next 25 years. When I started college coaching, I remember the other coaches obsessing over the entries. It got me pretty paranoid about things and I was always waking up at night wondering if we screwed up.

I do remember asking one day, "But if we screwed them up, they'd let us change them, right?" Then being told some story about how a coach in the 80s didn't enter the relays once assuming that was a given and they weren't allowed to run.

Well, the ultimate horror occurred this past week at the Mountain West coach. Air Force didn't enter their entire distance squad - men and women. I can only imagine the entry deadline was different than in years past.

In the end, they ended up letting the athletes compete as they would have - no sense in punishing the athletes - but their points didn't count in the team score. Air Force lost the team title on the men's side as a result.
