An athlete sucker punched a runner in the head during a race at a high school track meet in Florida.

The athlete in a black uniform was standing on the track as a runner in white and red circled around him and the other runners.

The runner in first place yelled at the athlete in black to move, but when the next lap came around, the guy appeared to purposely get in the way of the runner by standing on the track.

The athlete in black was pushed out of the way by the runner in first. The athlete punched the runner from behind.

The runner who was attacked fell to the track and it is not known if he finished the race or not.

We reached out to the host school, but they said there were no students from the county involved.

The Florida High School Athletic Association was notified of the incident.

We reached out to the cops, but they have yet to give us any further information.

The story is developing.
