One Nittany Lion In And One Out Of The Pan-Am Games, All Because of Paperwork

In my profession paperwork has taken over as never before, even if it all mostly online now.  But it also has taken over a lot of the Track and Field World, apparently.

Tyler McCandless will be lacing his shoes up in the marathon at the Pan-Am Games in Canada.  He was selected as the #2 marathoner.  There is a big controversy over the selection as another runner ran faster.  Possibly, he failed to fill out the required paperwork ahead of time.  LetsRun.com isn't a good source for anyone looking for "The Truth" but here's a link anyway.





The other side of the same coin has Fawn Dorr excluded from running the 400M Hurdles despite being the #2 at the National Championships.  She forgot the paperwork...
