Rohan Walker at Penn Relays

[Sickko]

Just bumped into him in one of the team hotels. If I recall he is not qualified to run at Penn Relays as he was not qualified to run at Champs.

If that is the case why is he here, a free trip? He is with the JC team, this should be interesting.

Some how I still dont think this Ruel guy was being genuine, heard stories about him...

LOL - Perhaps his grades have improved and he is now qualified to compete in ISSA's competitions? Remember he was only 'disqualified' based on grades.

[Peter R]

I was thinking the same thing... I believe that the qualifying grade is 45%...I am open to correction... shouldn't be too hard to achieve that with some extra effort for a "normal" person.

But Sickko is the reporter... him nuh should investigate more instead of casting aspersions on Ruel Maybe he is as we speak/type...Eh Sickko? How things on the track?

[Willi]

I think he is eligible. It is his school that decided not to enter him at Champs.

He would have been ineligible if he is not in school, too old or maybe even sitting out a transfer year.

Look at StGC, they can all enter Penns this year.

As the wormy world turns Stay tuned to the dial!

[Don1]

Come on now....why investigate when it's easier and more interesting to speculate... or cast aspersions??

[Sickko]

You missing the bigger point here. Lets say the JC standard is higher than the ISSA 45% in four subjects and he was kept out of Champs. This is not a big deal as it has happened elsewere to other athletes with little or no fanfare.

The question is how di he qualify by JC standards, to get to Penn Relays if he was not good enough for Champs a month ago?

[Don1]

speculation is the last refuge of the lazy or incompetent or attention seeking scribe.. lol

[Peter R]

Maybe JC standards is 40%? who knows?

You posing a good question just ask the right people...

He ran for Jamaica in Carifta so presumably the same questions would apply, correct?

I hope that you are in a position to shed some light for us.

Sickko,

Welcome back to Philadelphia again.

Did not get the chance to link many people while I was in JA for Champs but had a great time.

Well, I am heading to Penn Relays today.

Respect
Mac

[Sickko]

Sodomite, thinks for yourself or maybe too much sperm chocking your windpipe and thought process.

If by JC's high standards he was not able to run at Champs how is he at Penn Relays then?

[Don1]

LOL! What a mess of gibberish.

Life as an unlettered scribe must be quite challenging... leading you devolve to juvenile epithets far too easily

Try restrain yuhself

[Sickko]

Better to be unlettered than a 5hit digger..dont wory dude I heard your story...you are no body and never will be and just trying to drag down ppl to you dirty level...back the ********** off

[Don1]

is this guy delusional or what? heard my story? I'm trying to drag people down to MY dirty level?

More useless aspersions

Tek yuh prozac before yuh get ban from dis site like dem ban yuh from the track site fi yuh nastiness

[Sickko]

Ban me from site? And what? Nastines is what you do in your spare time rear admiral.

By the way this 'unlettered scribe' has won numerous national and international awards and is the only non American in 30 years to win the Jesse Abramson award for outstanding trcak and field journalism, go check the Penn Relays official magazine this year, also recognised by the IAAF and other organisations.

Where are your achievements...on your knees alone..not good enough
