See, there are bad officials everywhere!!!

HS runners DQ'd for ‘LiveStrong' wrist bands
"LiveStrong" doesn't add up to "run fast," at least for one high
school official in Virginia.

More than two dozen high school track athletes were disqualified from
an Oct. 6 event in Virginia Beach, Va., after an administrator ruled
Lance Armstrong's popular "LiveStrong" wristbands amounted to jewelry,
banned under district rules.

Some 26 athletes were wearing the yellow plastic bans and were
subsequently disqualified from the track event, according to a report
in the The Virginia Pilot newspaper.

"It's the stupidest rule I've ever heard," said Lanny Doan, one of the
high school coaches. "We're talking about a rubber band. It's not
going to harm anyone."

Some 12 million of the wrist bands have been sold nationwide to raise
money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The wrist bands have become
a cultural phenomenon, with big-time sports stars and even
presidential candidates sporting the plastic bands.

The wrist bands, however, fell afoul with school officials in Virginia
who have banned all except religious or medical jewelry from high
school track events. The Virginia Pilot reported high officials
notified coaches by e-mailed prior to Wednesday's with reminders that
the rule would be enforced.

Several athletes won their heats but were later disqualified after
wearing the wrist bands. One of the school's girl's squad lost out on
the team competition because of the ruling.

"Basically, we lost because of a cancer-support bracelet," Ocean Lakes
coach Mike Nestor told the newspaper. "This is a friendly sport. I'd
rather be told kids had to take them off before they run than told
‘gotcha' afterward."

crap on me when I was in grad school:

I think you get a pass on that - unless you really *want* that
recommendation

I know, and reluctantly admit that it *can* be used right. Still hate

JT,

No comment on the stylish pants or the yellow bracelet, but browsing your
cool web site made me realize we probably raced together in the 30+ at
Killington in 1996. I distinctly remember those CRCA/Metro jerseys and the
tenacious, hard-to-drop Chad Scheer. Does he still race?

I think Chad stopped racing few years ago but I suspect he still
rides (and plays hacky sack and ultimate frisbee -- his key forms of
training) -- he lives in Albuquerque.
