Just Jack Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 ....and in 112th place...the runner whose father is an azzhat. What's going to be interesting, is seeing the race results next weekend.... from the article... As Mears' lawsuit embarks on its slow race through federal court, his son is staying on track. On Saturday, he was set to run in a United Age Group Track Coaches Association meet in Philadelphia. http://www.uagtca.org/
keepthefaith Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Father filed suit without an attorney. Translation, No lawyer wanted to take the case on a contingency. Track is a sport where you can get as much attention or more from colleges running AAU or USATF indoor and summer seasons. That and it's rare you get really good coaching from a high school program. Top track athletes get private or club coaching. Filing the suit won't help his college chances.

Keukasmallies Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 As a former school superintendent who authorized removing seven football players from the team for drinking, and weathering the withering parental/community storm that followed my decision, I'm lovin' this discussion!

As a former school superintendent who authorized removing seven football players from the team for drinking, and weathering the withering parental/community storm that followed my decision, I'm lovin' this discussion! Not an easy decision for you I'm sure. Good for you though. Action--->Consequence. I have a friend who is a school administrator. His biggest complaint is how 'society' (huge generalization noted) wants the school system to raise the kids....but strips the schools of any real authority as soon as the heat gets turned up. Difficult spot to be.
boyst Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 This is the kind of kid we would have tapped to the hurdles and left for the night...
Doc Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Father filed suit without an attorney. Translation, No lawyer wanted to take the case on a contingency. Yep, it says a lot when a lawyer won't take your case. What it also says is this man has a fool for a client.
Just Jack Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Heaven knows we'll all be here waiting. I've looked through, and can't find the kids name anywhere... http://www.uagtca.org/Meetresults/2013/13OC/130601res.htm

BillsFanM.D. Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Using the Edit/Find option helps make it easier to search, but as soon as I put in "mea" before finishing the name, it came up "no results found". Given circumstances, and assuming he participated, they probably 'hid' the results.
