7 CHSAA MAJOR CHANGES A. A 5 th team from the four regional meets in 2A will be added to the state field INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Shoes Chips or Bib

8 NFHS RULE CHANGES Clarifies that for a track and field as well as cross country uniform to be considered legal, the singlet and bottom or onepiece uniform shall be school-issued or school-approved. This change for school approval addresses the need for 4-3-1, 4-3-1b, 4-3-1c athletes to purchase a part of their uniform, but such individual apparel shall be approved by the school coach to be certain it meets all rule requirements. Rationale: Clarifies that the school may issue or approve an individually purchased item as part of the official school uniform PENALTY (NEW), , Several prohibitions regarding competitors actions were included but had no associated penalty should the rule not be followed which created confusion for enforcement. The appropriate penalty of disqualification from the event has been added. Rationale:This rule was absent the necessary penalty The requirements for the length of the pole vault crossbar has become more flexible as it can now be within a range in length like the high jump. Rationale: Creates consistency in establishing a range for the length of the crossbar in pole vault. Provides flexibility in the length of the crossbar, like the high jump crossbar (NEW), 4-3 Duplicate language regarding the uniform has been removed from Rule 8, Cross Country, and all rules regarding the uniform for individuals, relay team members and cross country teams are now all contained in one rule, Rule 4. Rationale: Eliminates duplicate language. These two rules are identical except for the rule on the soles of the shoes allowing for one-inch spikes in cross country.

9 UNIFORM RULING/LEGAL UNIFORMS Many of the compression style shorts, whether purchased by athletes or the school, have waistbands sporting multiple and/or oversized manufacturer logos. The CHSAA is asking coaches and athletes to solve this violation permanently by sewing a matching solid color material over the band to cover the logos, tucking the waistband inside of the short and stitching the band in this position, using a permanent marker to color the logos to match the waistband color, or any other permanent solutions that will not allow the logos to be seen. Uniforms will be checked at the starting line. Any athlete that is wearing shorts with this logo violation will not be allowed to compete unless a permanent solution can be implemented in a timely manner. Obviously, it would be difficult to fix this violation at the starting line unless a permanent marker in the correct color is readily available. The start of any race will not be delayed in fairness to all other competitors. Hats and gloves may be worn by competitors without pre-approval of Games Committee. Hats and gloves must be recognized athletic wear (no floppy hats, or distracting ornamentation), must be used as intended (baseball caps with brims forward for sun-blocking), and must not impede the forward progress of any racer. The above reasonable guidelines will also be extended for runners who wish to use arm warmers, sunglasses, and wrist watches.

10 MEET INFORMATION Stay away from start and finish area of state meet during walk through Starting Alleys should be 6 wide. At minimum, they must be 4 ½ wide Slight adjustment to time schedule Awards Top 15 after each race, Team Awards after classification Athlete injured during warm-up at state meet need to make substitutions at inquiry table 2 Coaches and Competing athletes ONLY in warm-up area prior to race, NO ALTERNATES or managers Bib chip or chip in both shoes when finish pad is used
