In high school, we used to call a scrimmage a warm-up dual or triangular meet (that did not count) before the start of the season.

I'm sure this has been noted before on this thread--SID releases often refer to track and field athletes as "players". That's obviously the common, and appropriate, way to refer to an athlete on the football or basketball team. And it's clearly not an appropriate way to refer to someone on the track team.

USATF is guilty of this one. The story is now linked on the front page is from the USATF website; it's a report of the Michigan Pro Half-Marathon, which was held yesterday. The story includes this:
Morgan Pearson won a very close menβs race in his debut at the distance, clocking 62:15 to hold off Tyler Day (62:16), Frank Lara (62:17) and Scott Fauble (62:18).

The problem is that in the story, there's a link to the official results of the race, and those results show Lara beating Day for second place, with both timed in 62.17.

I will confess to being careless. Clueless? OK, sure, why not.
