On June 2, 2012, Meghan Vogel, who had earlier won the D-III 1600 and was running dead last in the 3200, stops to help a collapsed Arden McMath across the finish line.

The girl's Ohio Division III champ in the 1600 meters, Meghan Vogel, was finishing the 3200 meters in last place when she noticed a fallen competitor, Arden McMath. McMath had collapsed with the final meters of the race and instead of going around to finish Vogel stopped and literally carried McMath through the finish line. One of the greatest displays of sportsmanship in recent athletics history!

Come on bros, I ran competitively for four years in high school, was very successful as one of the top runners in the state of Ohio, and graduated last year. With high school running being over now, its not about finishing races, hitting a great time, being the best, or doing it on your own, its about finding yourself at a deeper level, becoming a better person through it, learning teamwork and selflessness, and having a great time. This is an amazing act of selflessness and sportsmanship and thats what high school sports are all about. You guys are taking things way too seriously. You guys who commented are taking fun, carefree life, and youthful selflessness out of high school sports, you guys should be ashamed. Your probably jelous this isn't you getting attention. Great job Meghan! You have a good heart!

what's the analogy here? Are you triing to compare this with dragging a soldier out of arm's way? I hope not. Personally I would of been pissed if someone tried and help me after I have completed 99.9% of my own, then have someone ruin it by helping me. I say let me do it on my own...and HER! There is more honor that way.....and Meghan took that away. Political correctness needs to stay out of running.

The weak girl is weak. She must crawl to the finish line. This is not teamwork. In life nobody will be there to carry her. The "helper" should be banned from competition for 2 years.

It would be awesome if Flotrack was able to provide captions for videos like this so that the Deaf community could know what the interviews are saying and connect them more with the running community. thank you for any help you might offer to help with the goal of making online content universally accessible! #captionTHIS
