one must run as fast as possible to
achieve the predetermined times.
A.H. conceded his disability
affects his running skills and his
ability to compete with able-bodied
runners at the Sectional meet. In
his accommodation request to the
IHSA, however, he had proposed
adopting the LHSAA qualifying
times for the para-ambulatory division, all of which he had easily accomplished and would assure that
he qualify for State.
As characterized by the appeals
court: " A.H. clearly seeks an accommodation that would make
him competitive and allow him to
achieve results he currently cannot
achieve. " The appeals court, however, determined A.H.'s accommo-

dation requests were " unreasonable
as a matter of law " because " the
ADA does not require the IHSA
to alter the fundamental nature of
their track and field events. "
A.H. currently has the opportunity to compete in the Sectionals
meet in order to qualify for State,
as well as an opportunity to compete for a medal in the Road Race.
The IHSA guarantees A.H. this
equality of opportunity, and by
all accounts, A.H., his teammates,
and coaches have benefitted tremendously from his participation
on the track and field team. However, the IHSA is not required under federal law to guarantee A.H.
the results he desires from those
opportunities.

The appeals court, however,
determined A.H.'s accommodation
requests were " unreasonable as
a matter of law " because " the ADA
does not require the IHSA to alter the
fundamental nature of their track and
field events. "
As a result, the federal appeals
court affirmed the federal district
court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the IHSA.
