The Odessa File People of Schuyler County. For those late to the disaster. By Charlie Haeffner. Odessa, NY, Nov. 8, 2. The fallout from the Caroline Rogers disqualification at the Section IV, Class C swim meet on Nov. Owego continues to reverberate. I hear it discussed I hear it debated and debased and I hear my own brain toying with it, bouncing it back and forth like a tennis ball. For those late to the disaster, Rogers swims for Elmira Notre Dame High School, and was on its victorious 2. Medley Relay team before winning the 2. Individual Medley convincingly. She climbed to the highest step of the awards podium in both cases, collecting medals and beaming. And then all hell broke loose. It was announced that there had been an error. The competitors from both races were told to gather at the end of the pool near the podium, where a meet director explained something dispiriting. Rogers should not have been swimming in the 2.

The Carolingian Renaissance was the first of three medieval renaissances, a period of cultural activity in the Carolingian Empire occurring from the late eighth. Medley Relay under rules that lump the Section IV tourney on Saturday with its Prelims on the previous Wednesday, held at another pool an hour away, in Watkins Glen. She had swum in the 2. Free Relay and 4. Free Relay on Wednesday, and those were supposed to be her events Saturday, along with the 2. IM and the 5. 00 Yard Freestyle. But her coaches switched her from one of the Free Relays to the Medley Relay as a strategic move. However, by swimming in the 2. Medley Relay, she was in essence in a fifth event again, the Prelims and Finals being considered a single unit, something verboten and, under the swim rules followed assiduously by officials, an act mandating Rogers disqualification from the entire meet. That was the rule, and according to the meet referee, Kate La. Moreaux, herself once a coach of great note, there was no choice in the matter.

Revival File Recovery' title='Revival File Recovery' />As she explained The meet committee, made up of coaches, referee and meet management were informed of the situation. All were in agreement that Rule 3 regarding the number of races allowed per individual, and how they are determined had been violated. Unfortunately, that resulted in the disqualification of the winning Medley Relay. Although Rogers had previously won Event 3 the 2. Individual Medley, she was disqualified from that event as well. I called the teams coach into the pool office so that I could tell her of the disqualification in private, rather than on the deck. She said that she had not understood the rule. I get it I nearly made that mistake myself many years ago. Once you know how fast the other relays went in prelims, you can adjust your relays, as long as you adjust them with a swimmer who has not yet swum two relays in prelims. It was a heartbreaking decision. The girl is a wonderful girl from a wonderful team. Sadly, we officials dont get to choose which rules we want to enforce. Theres simply no ambiguity in this one. Cut and dried. Or is it For instance how, exactly, did this matter come to lightWord is that another teams coach blew the whistle. If so, then it was no doubt done for a few points that might help his or her squad in pursuit of the team title. It was not the winning Watkins Glen coach, though, who says she was not even aware of the rule. One particular school and coach were mentioned early, but I wont name them because matters like this are emotional and often fraught with unsubstantiated rumor. But if what I heard at poolside was right, the whistle blower was someone considered not beyond utilizing a deep rules knowledge to her teams advantage. Its a moot point, I suppose   La. Moreaux said the mistake would have been uncovered, anyway, by a program that was part of the meets computerization. It would not have gone unnoticed long term. But its a moot point that festers. Something in me wonders about that coach if its who Im told it was. I wonder what kind of person would be so enamored of the rules when it might benefit his or her own team that he or she would disregard the human cost and push ahead, driven by the brass ring. I was talking to a gentleman with long experience in the law in pursuing and locking up criminals and I outlined the swim meet situation to him, and he shook his head. Rules are rules, he said, but sometimes you just have to adhere to a no harm, no foul position, rules be damned. This situation, I believe, would have been the perfect spot for just such an approach. No harm, no foul. The infraction a coaching mistake ended up hurting Caroline Rogers, along, to a lesser degree, her teammates on the Medley Relay team. She did nothing wrong, and yet she was the one who paid most severely. But, as Kate La. Moreaux noted, the rules dont permit such relaxation. She explained in more detail I believe that at least one coach did bring it to the attention of the official who reported it to me, and frankly most coaches would check results once they were posted to figure out why ND went so much faster in the finals. Anytime a relay has such a significant drop from prelims to finals from 2 0. I, as a coach, would want to know why. The obvious answer is a different swimmer. With only six swimmers at Notre Dame, a fairly new program that doesnt even have its own pool, they really dont have the personnel to replace a swimmer. It is often done I could  just hold someone like Cathy Brown an outstanding Watkins Glen swimmer who La. Moreaux coached years ago to three events in prelims, then put her in any relay in finals. After you see what everyone else has chosen to go for usually you can only focus on two relays, you can adjust your relay in the finals if you think it improves your chances. The key is that she cant swim four races during prelims and then add a fifth event. Its the coaches mistake, but no one seems to want to be too hard on the ND coaches, and I get it. However, the blame shouldnt fall to anyone except them. They made a significant error, although Im sure it wasnt intentional. My heart goes out to them, and to the broken hearted swimmer and her teammates. I was watching as the infraction was explained to the swimmers and their coaches there near the podium on Saturday, and I realized something really bad had occurred when Rogers walked away from the group, holding her hands to her head in dismay. It was a striking scene a girl of admirable talent and, from all reports, a girl known for her kindness, subjected to something awful in a setting designed to celebrate our best and brightest in the world of swim competition. Yes, she was holding her hands to her head as though trying to ease the pain and I imagine there were tears. And after she talked to her coach, she disappeared, presumably to the locker room. Thats where I would have gone, had life suddenly turned my victory into something nightmarish. A friend of hers, the runner up in the Individual Medley, was also upset. That was Amanda Wilbur of Watkins Glen, who ended up with the medal that Rogers had won in the race. Wilbur was still upset when she swam the 1. 3 Questions That Will Change Your Life Pdf Merge more. Yard Butterfly, and was saying afterward that she wanted to give the IM medal to Caroline. I was struck by the sportsmanship of the sentiment. I dont know if Wilbur got the opportunity to give the medal up, and Im not sure if Rogers would want it. She had earned it, yes, but it would likely spark some unsettling memories whenever she looked at it. The bottom line is this Yes, rules are there for a reason. But maybe, in this case, the rule is unconscionably harsh, and needs to be changed. Intervene The Recovery Magazine by intervene.
