Disabled athlete's parents take complaints to OSAA sponsors | Local News | kgw.com | News for Oregon and SW Washington
Come on!
Honor the achievement. Score the kid, keep the record.
As per the KGW website: " Brad Garrett, an OSAA assistant executive director who coordinates the state track meet s, said: "The OSAA in particular and the OSAA executive board philosophically believe the inclusion of wheelchair athletes fundamentally alters the competition.""
Where is the harm to the non-disabled athlete if the records are kept? How is competition altered?
Rules is rules, I work in a bureaucracy, I understand that.
Show us the federal rule that would be broken by including Brandon Caswell's achievement. Explain to us the harm of including all time event records for wheelchair athletes.
Otherwise guys, let's do the right thing.

Jodie and I have been married since 1990. We met in preschool (she was Jodie Hildenbrand back then), went separate ways in the fourth grade (mainstreaming) and we met up again 16 years later. In 1995 we had a son, Eric. Our lives were changed forever!
