26:25Now PlayingNAACP leaders and attorneys are demanding a high school track athlete's gold medal be reinstated. Clara Adams, 16, lost the medal due to a post-race celebration after her father handed her a fire extinguisher, which she then used on her shoes.
"I was wrongfully disqualified for this," Clara Adams, 16, said on Friday, showing a small fire extinguisher she used to spray her sneakers on May 31 after winning the 400-meter race in 53 seconds at the CIF State Track & Field Championships in Clovis, Calif. "I went on the grass and sprayed my spikes because my feet were on fire. I just ran 53 seconds in the 400 for the second time in my whole life and career. So that was a big moment for me."
Adams said she tried moving off the track, away from where her competitors were and walked to a grassy field, lifting the nozzle of the extinguisher and blasting her shoes for about a second.
"What?" she recalled thinking. "I can't even explain what was going through my mind."
