"South Pasadena High pole vaulter Robin Laird thought she won a league championship last month when her final vault clinched the meet. Then the opposing coach helpfully pointed out that she was wearing a string around her wrist. Clutch!

Track rules clearly state that "Jewelry shall not be worn by contestants" and I guess a braided friendship bracelet is technically jewelry. (It's also technically a rope!) So Laird was disqualified from the vault—the final event of the match—and as a result, rival Monrovia High School won the Rio Hondo League title. Fair? Well, at least one coach thinks so!"
