Apparently, California Interscholastic Federation officers felt in another way. They instantly disqualified Adams and stripped her of her state title, leaving her in disbelief simply minutes earlier than she was scheduled to run the 200 meters.

“I don’t know what’s going through my mind right now,” Clara Adams mentioned later that night time. “I’m disappointed and I feel robbed. I am in shock. They (officials) yelled at me and told me, ‘We’re not letting you on the podium.’ They took my moment away from me.”

“It’s a very unfortunate event,” mentioned North Salinas head monitor coach Alan Inexperienced. “We are all heartbroken. Clara ran an incredible 400 race and is the fastest 400-meter girl in the state.”

Adams had hoped to match Calvin Harrison’s achievement 32 years in the past of profitable the 200 and 400, even carrying the throwback North Salinas uniforms from that period. However with the protest upheld, her day was completed.

“She was trying to have some fun at the finish line after the 400,” mentioned Inexperienced, selecting his phrases rigorously. “It was interpreted as unsportsmanlike. What an incredible season and run. It’s unfortunate.”

Adams had superior to the finals after clocking the second-fastest time within the trials on Friday, almost matching her state-leading time of 53.23 seconds, achieved on the Central Coast Part finals final week. Within the finals, she blistered the monitor out of Lane 6, clocking 53.24.

Within the 200 trials on Friday, Adams shaved almost half a second off her finest time, clocking 23.71 and going from being ranked twelfth to No. 2 going into the finals.

Adams, who broke the CCS finals report within the 400 final week and is the Monterey County report holder, is now No. 2 all-time within the county within the 200, behind Monterey’s Sani Roseby’s mark of 23.52, set in 1999.

Through the season, the Pacific Coast Athletic League’s Cypress Division 100-, 200- and 400-meter champion set faculty information at North Salinas within the 100, 200, 400 and 800.
