Who else knew that a student objecting to being assigned the number 666 for a race would have to explain carefully for religious reasons to be accepted?

November 2013: Whitley Co. teen refuses to run race because of '666' number

Codie Thacker of Kentucky ended up sitting out her race at her high school regional cross country meet because race officials were apparently too dense to draw the connection between her stating a religious exception to the number she was assigned and that "666" is widely considered to be the mark of the beast in Christian circles.

From WKYT.com:
A representative for KHSAA claims meet officials were not told Thacker objected to the number for religious reasons. Joe Angolia with the Kentucky High School Athletic Association said, “We've made adjustments to uniform codes and things like that in the past when it's known that religious reasons are in play. Maybe had that been made more clear to meet officials, they would have made that decision.”
