JACKSON STATE, SOUTHERN MENS TEAMS DISQUALIFIED FROM SWAC INDOOR TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPSPublished by
Baton Rouge, LA – The Jackson State and Southern men’s indoor track and field teams
have been disqualified from the 2009 SWAC Indoor Track & Field
Championships at Carl Maddox Fieldhouse due to unsportsmanlike conduct
and behavior demonstrated by both teams on Sunday afternoon. The
teams were involved in an altercation in the stands during the event.
All finishers and scores by both teams will be deleted, and all other
finishers from other competing teams will move up in each category,
thus resulting in the retabulation of team points toward the
Championship. “I
am extremely disappointed by today’s incident,” SWAC Commissioner Duer
Sharp said. “Championship events are to celebrate and reward the
achievements of our student athletes. Today, the actions of those
involved in the altercation have not exemplified that competitive
spirit of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and its member
institutions. This behavior is unacceptable and we will investigate
completely before taking further disciplinary action.” Read the full article at: www.swac.org
