Unfortunately, 13 minutes before the lead runners arrived, an off-duty officer was struck by a car nearby, sparking an 'officer down' broadcast and all race-assigned cops rushing to the scene amid reports of the vehicle fleeing, with cones moved in the process. Her place went to Molly Born, who won the race despite having been over a minute behind when the incident occurred. McClain, who ended up ninth after the officials' blunder, expressed her devastation at the end of the race, declaring that she was 'p***ed off'. 'I just hate that the athletes are ALWAYS the ones who pay the price (literally $$) time & time again,' she wrote on social media. 'I hope & trust that @usatf & @atlantatrackclub can somehow make it right for the athletes who were led off course,' McClain concluded in her desperate Instagram appeal.
