TMZ cites witnesses as saying that the athlete who threw the punch was not involved in the race. He was reportedly standing on the track, and the runner in first place — who ultimately got punched — told him to move out of the way.
During the next lap, instead of moving, the athlete reportedly further impeded the first-place runner, who pushed him over.
In apparent retaliation, the athlete in the black chased him down and socked him in the head.
It was not immediately known if any criminal complaints were made over the incident.
Running Magazine reported that police were called over the incident, but it was not immediately known if any charges were filed.

That’s promising (that there is still such a large upper middle class there); that element is absent in many of our cities here. We’ll probably get more NYC refugees soon as the last mayor restructured their high schools to end the merit-based segregation; the working Asians there (not wealthy) won’t sacrifice their children, or their educations, for political correctness. Private schools have a hard time in our cities because anyone who could afford them already left, and the remaining people can’t afford them. Here in NJ private schools struggle even in suburbs because our public school taxes are so high; wealthy areas have some but middle-class suburbs lost them as a similar dynamic occurred: If I could afford a private education on top of my taxes, I’d live in a much better area. My town (pop. 40,000) had six Catholic schools when I was born; decades later they are all closed (but there is still a Catholic population). Failure to implement vouchers/school choice doomed them; parents can’t pay private school tuition on top of the de facto public school tuition via property taxes.
America has a demographics problem.

Why do the elites think their plan for mind control was a good one, or that their mental retardation won’t get the best of them?
“Crazy” video.
Not “Disturbing”, “Shocking”, etc.
I’m surprised the headline wasn’t “Wacky” or “Hilarious”.
That too.
I meant that when a kid was standing on the track, an adult or coach should have told him to get off the track PRIOR tot he race, or just when it started. I remember when I was in track, coaches were always hollering at kids to get off the track.
I do not even have to look, do I?
You missed my point. If a PARTICIPATING athlete throws a punch (I was responding to a poster who wondered why he didn’t hit the interloper back), they are suspended by the FHSAA. It had nothing to do with the perp, who is definitely going to be charged. Tohopekaliga is northeast of Orlando (if you know the area, it is basically right next to Austin Tindall Park and is a brand-new school (2nd year) in a very conservative area.
