Just heard today that Nederland may be the District Champs bc Ozen had a runner in too many events. Anyone else hear this?

usually all complaints must be taken care of within 30 minutes of the end of each race.  Its been 4 days i doubt anything will change.

I believe it was discovered the next day (but I could be wrong) after the results were posted. An Ozen participant who faulted during the start of his race was entered in an additional relay, which is clearly illegal, since he already was entered (and participated) in 2 other relay races. Additionally, another Ozen participant raced in 3 of the distance races, when 2 is the limit. If Nederland was able to have a participant in all 3 distance races, the Ned participant who won the 800 and mile would have also won the 2 mile.

Either way you look at, Ozen participated illegally. Every coach knows the rules, so it makes one wonder why a coach would knowingly attempt to cheat. I don't know the BY-laws of the
district, but I'm sure it will be figured out.
