If I remember correctly, he turned around and looked at his opponents and came in backwards across the finish line.
What? you just making shite up? He sprinted through the finish line normally to set the state record

I posted the video. He ran a completely normal finish

No he can’t. His first “violation” came by celebrating after the finish line

No other runners were actually allowed to celebrate before with their hands raised just like he did for some reason

Look at the second video here . It shows his first “violation”. He does nothing at all until after the race.

That's insane, he won by 2 seconds & set a state record, wtf are we doing if you can't celebrate for 10 seconds afterwards??

I mean is he yelling "eff these little bitches n-word mcGoo" or is he just screaming because he's pumped??

This is him during the celebration

A viscous taunting handshake to his competitors

The rules say he can.

He didn't simply raise his hands in that one. They deemed he turned around and taunted other athletes by yelling. Not even close to the same thing as raising his hand.

Then why should he be allowed to?

This is him right after winning. He turned around, celebrated, and immediately went to congratulate the other guys



It’s so fricking ridiculous yall are still trying to claw and defend this

I said it wrong. Many other athletes did raise their hands before crossing the finish line without receiving any warning or violation

This was stupid….

Kid wasn’t taunting, etc…

I’d be pissed


His teammates should be pissed at him for costing them a win because of his ego and selfishness. No reason to be mad at the officials considering they already gave the kid a warning for doing the same thing at another event earlier in the day. He was given a 2nd chance and didn't learn his lesson.

ETA: never mind. I saw the video from the RG3 tweet posted a few replies above mine. That's not taunting. bullshite call from officials

He can celebrate. Just after the finish line.



Well if that's the rule, then he shouldn't have gotten a warning the FIRST time as he clearly finished his race.

Dude, he turned around and started yelling. They considered it taunting and he got a warning for it.

It's fricking ridiculous that you keep acting like the kid did nothing wrong.

It's a different application of the rule. One was for yelling after the race and one was for celebrating early. Why is this so hard for some of you to understand.

So he can celebrate, he just can't do it before the line, after the line, by yelling, or by turning around and shaking his competitors' hands

Exactly. WHO GIVES A frick. He won the race, finished it, and yelled in celebration AFTER winning

He clearly also goes to shake hands with his opponents. Defending the ruling that counted that as a violation is braindead man

Taunting is out of control, but neither of these instances are taunting, or really even close to being so.

The rule book says:

Rule 4-6-1
"Unsporting conduct is behavior that is unethical or dishonorable. It includes, but is not limited to: disrespectfully addressing an official, any flagrant behavior, intentional contact, taunting, criticizing or using profanity directed toward someone. This shall apply to all coaches, contestants, and other team/school personnel"


Either every athlete the held out their arms, did a fist pump, clapped their hands, etc. needs to be DQ'd for taunting, or they need to reinstate this kid and his team. Yelling, even with profanity, wouldn't be a disqualification under this rule unless it was directed at an official or another runner.

Like I said, track officials are the most uptight group of power tripping douchebags you'll ever meet.
