Joe Waskom describes the mishap in Saturday's 3,000-meter steeplechase race, where he was leading when he lost his shoe in the water pit and ran a lap barefoot before dropping out. Waskom went to the start of both the 1,500 and 5,000 meters, but dropped out of both. The reigning NCAA champion in the 1,500 meters describes the team effort that surrounded him over three days at Mt. SAC and covered for him.
