Approved unanimously (85)

NFHS 2010 Track and Field Rules Changes Announced
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Becky Oakes
BUNGEE USE W/PV&HJ
The committee made several changes affecting competitors in the vertical jumps. A modification to Rule 7-2-11 now allows the use of the previously prohibited bungee cord in place of the crossbar for warm-ups. The committee noted that the bungee cord must be approved by the games committee and must be manufactured specifically for use in track and field for this purpose. In addition, the bungee cord may only be used if the standards for the event are able to accommodate it. Rule 7-5-4 is also affected by this change. The committee added the phrase "or any other equipment which is not legal" to clarify this rule, regarding items not permitted in warm-ups.
