All I've noticed is that the runner was removed from the 1600 and 3200 results and then also the 4x8 and 4x4 relays for Carrington were removed from the original results (found in the GF Herald). My only guess is that the runner exceeded the 5600 meter distance limitation that was set forth this year...if the runner had done the 1600, 3200 and both relays...he would have been sitting at 6000 meters for the day (6000 > 5600)...Now I'm not sure if that is exactly what happened...but it seems to be logical.

This is a new rule? Unless there is some evidence that running that much in a day causes xyz, I think this is a stupid rule.
