Sportsmanship at the State Track Meet

Winfield High School track coach posted a great photo (taken by Kerry Riffle) of sportsmanship at the recent State Championship track meet in Charleston, along with these thoughts:

Sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field. Here is an example of sportsmanship from two Class A runners, Hunter Riffle (right) & Trey Hester of Doddridge County High School, helping Austin Hayes of Webster County HS off the track after he just won the individual state title in the Class AA Boy's 1600m at the West Virginia High School State Track & Field Championships at Laidley Field in Charleston, WV on May 21, 2016.

Simple definition of sportsmanship: fair play, respect for opponents, and polite behavior by someone who is competing in a sport or other competition.
