Students who don't meet the requirement should not complete but we must ask if STETHS never knew of any requirements problem until the last minute? How does the process work? Should the requirements should be met at the time of registration or the day before Champs start?

1/1
Reid, who was seeking her fourth straight high jump gold medal after winning twice in Class Two, had contributed 15 of STETHS' 63 points won last year after also winning the bronze in the Class One long jump with a best jump of 5.70m.
The former Penn Relays champion and defending CARIFTA Games Under-20 champion has also run for 4x100m and Medley Relay teams in the past.
Meanwhile, the Observer has learned that Reid is not the only athlete from the St Elizabeth based institution who was ruled ineligible this year as at least one more athlete who was a finalists last year, has been barred from taking part as well.
Milton Brown, head of the girls programme at STETHS, said that while Reid's points and leadership would be missed, it was hoped that this set back would serve as a "wake up call" for the younger athletes in the programme.
Reid, who has represented the island at the CARIFTA, IAAF World Youths, Central American Juniors and Pan-Am Junior level, is one of the top college prospects and has attracted the attention of several top American schools.
