HTN: Fifth-Year Senior Challenges Athletics Rules

A mentally challenged fifth-year senior at Amherst High won't be allowed to race in his last two track meets. School officials have explained they can't change the rules and aren't able to make any exceptions. State Education Law states that tudents who have been in school for more than four years are not allowed to compete in athletics. Twenty-year-old Jordan Maliken's parents have been trying to garner support to change the decision.
