Meghan Vogel doesn't understand what all the fuss is about.
Vogel, a junior runner for West Liberty-Salem High School (West Liberty, Ohio), won the 1,600-meter title Saturday at the Division III girls state meet at Jesse Owens Stadium in Columbus. But it's what she did in her next race that was most remarkable.
With about 20 meters to go in the 3,200, Arden McMath, a sophomore from Arlington High School, collapsed in front of Vogel. Rather than run by her, Vogel helped McMath to her feet and carried her across the finish line, making sure to keep McMath ahead of her.

Well I would have been proud of her if it was my kid. She already won the prior race and the girl who was hurt was ahead when she went down. I'm all for helping each other succeed as long as the government isn't forcing it.FredHayek wrote: Have to disagree, it is an insult to have your opponent help you across the finish line.

Yeah, I hate when somebody does something that is not selfish! Makes me sick.FredHayek wrote: Have to disagree, it is an insult to have your opponent help you across the finish line.
