Temple Christian fined

The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) has cited Lima Temple Christian High School for a rules violation.

According to the OHSAA, Lima Temple Christian High School had a student-athlete in girls varsity bowling and girls varsity track and field that violated bylaw 4-8-1 concerning international and exchange students.

However, the student met Exception 2 to the bylaw (International and Exchange Students) but the school permitted the student to participate in 11 bowling contests and six track and field contests prior to receiving an eligibility ruling from the commissioner’s office.

The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the student retroactively and no forfeitures were required but, in accordance with Bylaw 4-1-1, administrative error, the school has been fined $100.
