Catch-22 ruling sidelines rising sprinter Evelyn Ashford
Evelyn Ashford, an 18 year old Roseville High School sprinter near Sacramento, is barred from all state girls meets after competing against boys, despite nearing the women’s world record in the 100 yard dash. CIF rules deem her ineligible because she runs with boys and lacks qualifying times for the boys’ meet. Her supporters cite her state and national records, including 50 and 100 yard marks, set while at Clements High School in Limestone County.
