Why is this man grinning?

This man is grinning because, 1) he is winning, 2) he is cheating 3) He is running as fast as he can, and thinks it's really fast?

He's Jon. His last name has been withheld. It's a tradition to close the first day of the SOL American Conference meet with a coach's 4x100. The only takers were Cheltenham (Jon's team), and Plymouth-Whitemarsh. From the photos below you can clearly see two things: Jon is losing on the closing stretch... and two, Jon doesn't have a baton. Which means, in relay terms, he's not exactly complying with the rules. Hence the smile.

Splits were unavailable (i.e. not kept).

Better luck next year.

PW's anchor had a MUCH bigger lead heading into the final 100.


The announcer called this one - big time DQ.
