I'll have to review the Fed rule again; I may have an out-of-date interpretation in my head. I was speaking only of collisions initiated by the runner, not incidental contact or the colloquial "wreck". This thread has also made me discover that my 2018 HS rule book is not in my bag, as I had assumed. :| Time to go find it.
