McClain, along with other top runners, followed the vehicle and was unable to regain her lead. She ultimately finished in ninth place. The event’s pace vehicle left the official course during Mile 11, and the race director took full responsibility for the mistake. USATF is reviewing the event and has denied protests and upheld the results.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Jess McClain, the favorite, gets off track, and the rest is history. A media vehicle, of all things, leads her astray. She’s not the first athlete to make a costly mistake, and she won’t be the last.
By the time she gets back on course, her lead is gone, and she’s left to wonder what could’ve been. The same could be said for the event organizers, who are left to pick up the pieces and try to make it right.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes even the best-laid plans can go awry. And sometimes, it’s not even your fault.
This one felt recognizable early.
