“The anchor of that 4×100 squad was junior Derrick Hayes, who ran a particularly blazing split and celebrated the team’s state qualification with a simple finger point to the heavens. The gesture is a common one in sports, but on this occasion, it was deemed to have run afoul of a University Interscholastic League (UIL) regulation barring excessive celebration. Once officials at the Columbus meet determined that Hayes had violated the excessive celebration rules, the entire 4×100-meter squad was disqualified and effectively barred from the state championships.”
