used to run varsity x-country and track and we didn't use 'DNF' to mean
'Did Not Finish' afaik.

My wife races triathlons and I'm pretty sure they use "DNF" for that.
Especially in the longer races it's pretty common to have a significant
number of people dropping out so I guess it's handy to use the acronym.
Thus ends my useless information for today. :-)
