Ah, cross country season.

Nothing but you and your teammates using your legs to carry you through the unpredictable terrains toward the finish line. Oh, and the casual mid-race brawl. Wait, what?

Today at the Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship in Kenosha, Wis., the University of Southern Indiana won their 11th-straight conference title. However the scene that took place about 200m into the race may be making more noise on the internet.

Watch below.



According to an eyewitness, here’s the story. Nick Terreri of Truman State shoved Indianapolis runner Joel Keller about 200m into the race. Keller almost fell because of the push, and responded by attempting to rip Terreri’s bib number off his singlet. Terreri then proceeded to grab Keller and throw him to the ground, followed by a few punches.

Keller’s teammate Kameron Casey tried to diffuse the situation, only to also get punched by Terreri. Terreri then ran away and finished the race, as did Keller and Casey.

@hobbyjoggerhart thanks man. it just sucked because I was just trying to stop that kid from throwing a punch at my teammate

GLVC officials disqualified both Terreri and Keller, while Casey finished 17th overall, with a nice shiner to prove it.

You really can’t make this stuff up, people.
