I was watching a lot of NON and NBON and quite frankly, I was getting a little tired of all the flexing and preening for the winners of every race. I want track to be fun but acting like a fool because you won the the 3rd heat in one of 3 national meets is a bit much.
Am I just an old man being crabby? thx?

The toxicity of rap culture shines through after permeating the minds of upper-middle class children.
It’s dumb too, because no high schooler will ever outflex the HS GOAT, Michael Stember.
This post gave me a chuckle. My son ran in the 2nd to last heat at NON this week. He looked to his right and his left and announced loudly, "Gentlemen, enjoy it. We are All Americans for about five more minutes," knowing they would likely be displaced by the winners of the next heat.
I thought that was a the right attitude to approach things.
Experienced runner here- I believe that you should just let the kids have some fun. For most, it is the end of their high school careers. They are just feeling the adrenaline rush after the race ends. Unless it is something very inappropriate, then I believe that it is fine for them to celebrate their race. It is not the easiest thing in the world to make nationals!
