Pole Vaulter Disqualified For Wearing a Friendship Bracelet

Remember the story of the college softball player who hit the game-winning homer and blew out her knee as she trotted around first base, but was carried to second, third and home by opposing players — even though she represented the decisive run in a game that determined the championship?

This is the story of a high school pole vaulter whose successful leap in the last event won the meet and the league championship for her team — until an opposing coach pointed out she should be disqualified for breaking a rule, reversing the outcome so that his team captured victory and the league title.

The girl’s infraction? Wearing a friendship bracelet.
