She’s disqualified because rules are rules. If she thought she could qualify, she should have talked to the organizers to get moved to the A corral. I have sympathy for her, but it was her responsibility to make that trial work, and all runners know how long it takes to cross the starting line from the various corrals in a large race.
True but it’s also clear from reviewing what occurred that her watch time/chip time, is actually the time it took her to run the race. I think even if she still isn’t allowed on the technicality, that they recognize that she actually ran for her chip time rather than the gun time.
There is no petitioning the race organizers to be moved to group A......She was screwed, pure and simple.......
