A 16-year-old track athlete was killed during a championship meet Wednesday morning in Texas by a member of another team, officials said.

Frisco Police confirmed the student-athlete died "despite lifesaving measures." The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, has been charged with first-degree murder.

A student from Frisco Memorial was the victim, according to local reports. Frisco Memorial Principal Brook Fesco wrote in an email obtained by Fox News Digital that Austin Metcalf, a junior at the school, had died Wednesday.

The incident occurred at about 10 a.m. at Kuykendall Stadium at the University Interscholasic League's District 11-5A championship meet. Anthony attends Frisco Centennial, roughly 7 miles away from Frisco Memorial.

According to the Frisco Independent School District, the meet was suspended shortly after the incident. The ISD added that the stadium "was immediately secured, and students were released and sent back to their home campus on FISD buses with expediency."

In her email, Fesco said the school "will acknowledge Austin’s death during 2nd period and will offer support throughout the day," adding counselors would be available.

"As a parent, your guidance and support will be important in helping your child process grief. Talking about this together, face-to-face, will give you a chance to discuss how your family understands and copes with loss. You may also want to discuss with your child how to be a supportive friend to classmates," Fesco wrote. "This loss might remind your student of past losses as well. The most important thing you can do is provide your child a chance to be heard and to express their feelings."

"The Frisco Police Department grieves with all those affected by this devastating loss and extends its deepest condolences to the victim’s family, students, and staff who are experiencing unimaginable pain," the department said in a statement. "The department is collaborating with the Frisco Independent School District and will continue to provide any support they need during this incredibly difficult time."

Metcalf, who also played football at the school, participated in both the boys shot put and discus events earlier in the day, with threw distances of 39 feet, 9¾ inches and 86 feet, 4 inches, respectively.

Anthony ran the boys' 100-meter dash in 12.38 seconds and was scheduled to compete in the long jump.

Eight schools competed at the meet, according to MileSplit.

"And we set that up for the girls’ track every meet we had, so, it's just like.. and he knew he wasn't supposed to be there. "

I might be paranoid but I think that's an odd detail. Did he expect it to be the girls tent this time if that is the usual procedure? Was it the tent for the girls that competition? I was a swimmer so we had girls and boys at the meets together so I'm not sure if it would be mixed in track.

Yeah, not sure. I think he was just trying to say that they were tasked with setting up and taking down the tent during track season. It also might be southern chivalry or something. That duty and coaches instructing them to keep other people out is probably combating the idea that he and Austin were out of line asking Cigarillo to leave.

Someone on X said the boys had already competed and it was girls, but I don't think that's true; not for track meets in general (they usually alternate field and track events, I think). And I don't think anybody ran that day that we know of.

I want to know what Cigarillo was saying initially that was, "just inappropriate and uh, uncalled for."

7. As noted upthread, Karmelanin somehow had sufficient credits to graduate which, again by law, entitle him to graduate. He'll receive a diploma (in the mail) but is barred from school grounds.

Word. I figured expulsion would've meant he's gone, but the district's policies only prohibit him from participating in graduation ceremonies, indeed.

Instinctually they know they're fucked when we decide to sunset the farm equipment.

They should canonize John Wilkes Booth as a saint for interrupting Lincoln's thoughts on what to do with them.

That does mean he's gone, but the district walked it back after being called racist. Because God forbid this murderer get his GED in prison.

Lincoln knew they were garbage. He wanted to send them back originally, never had the chance to do it.

However, I still believe many are astroturfing accounts with completely fake back stories, families, circular comments, etc. But maybe that's me going too tinfoil hat.

I actually think most of these aren't even niggers. But (very) pasty antifags and redditors. The whole thing reeks of piss jugs, unwashed programmer socks and bathtub HRT.

 

[Jelq Cloaca]

Its a government entity, it can't refuse to graduate someone for moral reasons. Legally he had all the credits so graduate he does. Also hasn't actually been convicted of anything, legally he's in no different a position than Rittenhouse was in when going through his show trial, would you have refused him graduation?

Wrong. Since he admitted he stabbed Metcalf, there's no "allegedly" portion to this case. Similarly, Rittenhouse admitted he shot the pedos. However, Rittenhouse had already dropped out of school, and wasn't on school property when it happened.

A student must be expelled for committing any of the following serious offenses while on school property or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related activity:

• Uses, exhibits, or possesses a firearm, illegal knife, club, or other prohibited weapon; or
• Commits the elements of any of the following offenses: aggravated assault, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, arson, murder, capital murder, criminal attempt to commit murder or capital murder, indecency with a child, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, continuous sexual abuse of young child or children, or drug- or alcohol-related offenses punishable as a felony.

It doesn't matter if the nigger is charged with murder or manslaughter, even criminally negligent homicide is enough to get his ass expelled.

Spoiler: Even more reasons

• A student may be expelled if, while on or within 300 feet of school property or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related event, the student:
  • Engages in conduct containing the elements of deadly conduct.
    

• A student may be expelled if the student engages in conduct against another student containing the elements of aggravated assault, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, murder, capital murder, criminal attempt to commit murder or capital murder or the offense of aggravated robbery, without regard to whether the conduct occurs on or off school property or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off school property.

A student may be expelled if the student:

• Engages in conduct containing the elements of felonious criminal mischief;

The policies state he can't be part of the graduation ceremony, but they have to offer him the diploma since he fulfilled academic requirements. It's going to suck when Hunter makes the walk without his brother. Poor kid.

Hasn't been convicted, until then its only hearsay even if he admitted it to the cops, even if it was captured on film in front of a live audience of millions.

He doesn't have to be convicted. He only needs a hearing in front of the school board that makes the decision. Now that we've cleared that up, stop being a faggot.

 

[TJT]

Dude you can be expelled from school for fighting even when no charges are filed against anyone. It's the school cucking out here.

 

[Sneedenhagen Chew]

I haven't watched past this loser in the beginning, but Christ almighty I'm sick of these fucking clowns.

At about 5:00, there's another statement that I didn't see yet. I found them here, along with the earlier ones I'd seen. I'll repost them all here for posterity.

There's no chance this moon cricket and his defenders aren't gonna try the "yo onna dat bodycam video be like a deepfake n sheeit also I seen in a movie made by some niggas in California that be like you gotta be tellin people you recordin dey shit n sheit fr" defence in court.

Not at all. They had no choice. They did what they are legally required to do: follow state law as well as established procedure. Khartoum had enough credits to graduate; by state law he therefore received his diploma and then by established procedure he was banned from school grounds so won't be attending the graduation ceremony. It's that straightforward, so let's not get emotional about it.

If he was expelled and it stayed, he would not have the credits, you have to actually complete your last semester.

It's like I said; they're trying to avoid a Category 2 Chimpout.

 

[David Floyd George]

No, you don't. According to state law and the BoE's established policy (it's a page or two upthread; please read it) if a student has sufficient credits to graduate (which Kartouche allegedly had) that student must be allowed to graduate. Completion of the final semester is completely irrelevant.

 

[The Dude]

It has been said a million times. They screwed themselves by calling everyone racist. It is starting to become meaningless as a label.

Exactly. Same with other words like Nazi, Fascist, bigot, transphobe, homophobe...those words hold no meaning anymore, and more and more the only people who are afraid of being called those names are libtarded faggots that have begun to lose their influence in culture.

Trying to avoid going to NIGCON 1.

Trying to avoid going to NIGCON 1.

Weve been at NIGCON 1 since Floyd decided to commit suicide by swallowing a few grams of meth.

Weve been at NIGCON 1 since Floyd decided to commit suicide by swallowing a few grams of meth.

Meth are uppers. Opiates are downers. He likely swallowed fent.

He is expelled and it has stayed. You don't need to complete the rest of the semester if you have the credits. He gets a diploma, but no ceremony. This whole thing is kind of a red herring, imo.
