elimination. NO (re-) WARM UPS WILL BE PERMITTED AFTER THE INITIAL SET
OF THREE ATTEMPTS. Seeding for field events will follow the National Federation
rule book for reverse order.

The following increment increases will be utilized when there are four or less competitors
remaining:
HJ One inch (1)
PV Three inches (3)
WEIGHING OF IMPLEMENTS / POLE VAULT CHECK-IN
All competition implements will be weighed and measured for size prior to the start of
the meet by an official. These implements will be impounded until the competition
begins. Contestants may use any implement that has been certified for competition.
Please refer to the schedule for check-in times. No rubber discs will be allowed in
competition.
Pole vaulters will be weighed in competition attire and poles will be inspected for proper
ratings at the time of check-in.

Athletes should be aware of public address announcements referring to check-in times for

SPIKES
The NIAA Board of Control officially adopted a 3/16-inch spike rule. Spikes (pyramids
and/or needles) may not protrude more than 3/16-inch into the track/runway surface. All
removable protrusions must be removed from the spike plate/shoe base. If an athlete is
found to have competed with improper equipment, that athlete will be disqualified.
Adopted, 2011.
EVENT AREA
Coaches and non-participating athletes must stay outside all fenced, roped and flagged
areas. Athletes must vacate the infield / event area immediately after their events
conclusion (awards ceremony).

A school qualifies for a relay event. Thus, it is possible for a coach to enter different
individuals on the state relay team than those used in the league/region meet.
However, once the (up to) six names have been declared for a relay team in the state
meet, the coach must pool from that list to form its state team. Teams must submit their
relay cards to clerk upon check-in.
