Civil rights leaders challenge disqualification of CA high school sprinter for win celebration
Briefly

Civil rights activists are contesting the California Interscholastic Federation's decision to disqualify high school track star Clara Adams from her state title due to her celebratory antics. Adams, inspired by Olympian Maurice Green, celebrated her victory by spraying her cleats with a fire extinguisher, which led to her being labeled as unsportsmanlike. An attorney and the NAACP are now rallying to have her title reinstated, indicating potential legal action to address what they view as an unjust ruling.
The idea that you're going to try and rewrite history after someone won, snatch away their medals, snatch away that achievement, for something that took place after the race.
We are prepared to take legal action for what has taken place, for the travesty that took place on that track.
