Chapel Hill, N.C – So I am back in Chapel Hill. While it’s not quite as wild as last week, it was pretty nutty once again. The ride down included zero visibility due to torrential rain, but it did clear up.
Upon arrival at Fetzer Field, there was a track meet and it got very interesting. There were a lot of blowout races, but there was one controversial race that caught my attention.
A Tar Heel runner was leading the way on the 400 meter relay, but a runner from St. Augustine’s caught up and took the lead down the stretch run. With victory seemingly in hand, the St. Augustine runner pulled up and stepped off the track thinking she had completed the race. But she was three meters short of the finish line and was disqualified, that awarded the Tar Heel runner with the win.
The Terrapin women’s lacrosse team has now taken the field after the 30 minute delay. With the fast Terps’ offense there may be another track meet underway in a few minutes.
