4‐3‐1 COMPETITOR’S UNIFORM IN TRACK AND FIELD AND CROSS COUNTRY
• The NFHS Track and Field Rules Committee reorganized Rule 4‐3:
• The uniform top and bottom were combined into 4‐3‐1b to help reduce redundant language within the book.
• Anything worn under the uniform is now considered a foundation garment. Foundation garments are not subject to logo/trademark/reference or color restrictions.
• All uniform rules (track and field and cross country) now fall in rule 4‐3.

Rule Change
6‐9‐4, 6‐9‐5, 6‐9‐7LONG JUMP/TRIPLE JUMP
The landing pit shall be filled with sand or other soft material to a depth at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) deep.
The landing pit shall have a minimum width of 9 feet (2.75 meters). • a. In the Long Jump, the distance between the takeoff board and the nearer edge of
the landing area shall be at least 3 feet (1 meter) and not more than 10 feet (3 meters). The distance between the foul line and the farther edge of the landing area shall be at least 32 feet (10 meters).
• b. In the Triple Jump, the nearer edge of the landing area shall be at least 36 feet (11 meters) from the foul line for men and 27.89 feet (8.5 meters) for women. Distances of 32 feet (10 meters) and 26 feet (8 meters), respectively, are recommended.
• NOTE: Distance from the foul line or takeoff board may be adjusted to accommodate different levels of competition. Competitors may change which foul line or takeoff board they are using during competition, but only with the prior notification and confirmation of the event judge.
www.nfhs.org
Rule Change
6‐9‐4, 6‐9‐5, 6‐9‐7LONG JUMP/TRIPLE JUMP
The first change is in Rule 6‐9‐4 as it defines the depth of the sand in the pit. Previously the rule just called for the pit to be filled with sand or other soft material to a depth that will ensure a safe landing. The rule now requires that depth to be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters). As in the past, the takeoff board must be the same level as the top of the pit.
Rules 6‐9‐5a and b provide the biggest change to the Long Jump and Triple Jump. The length of the pit is now defined. Previously pits had a minimum length of 15 feet. Given that some take‐ off boards can be as close as three feet from the pit, that presents a potential safety issue for the competitors that can jump farther.
Rule 6‐9‐5a addresses this safety issue, in the Long Jump, by requiring a distance from a 10’ takeoff board to the back end of the pit to be at least 32 feet (10 meters). The takeoff board can be no closer than 3 feet (1 meter) from the pit, but the standard distance is 10 feet (3 meters). This does not mean that a 10‐foot board is required to be used, just that the new rule requires that this is the board from which the length of the pit is to be measured.

Rule Change
6‐9‐4, 6‐9‐5, 6‐9‐7LONG JUMP/TRIPLE JUMP
QUESTION: Does this mean that no board can be closer to the pit than the board that meets the 32‐ foot requirement?
ANSWER: No. Let us examine a current pit that measures 15 feet. That would indicate that the take‐ off board would have to be at 17 feet. Most athletes in the long jump are not going to be able to make the pit at that board distance. Thus, the note at the end of 6‐9‐5 comes into play. Takeoff boards may be adjusted based on the level of competition. So, a 10‐foot jumper could use an 8‐foot board and still be within the intent of the rule to create a safe environment for the competitors.
In a similar fashion, Rule 6‐9‐5b provides further definition to the takeoff board in the triple jump. The rule change also addresses the safety issue by requiring a distance from the takeoff board to the nearer edge of the landing pit be 36 feet (11 meters) for men and 27.89 feet (8.5 meters) for women. Take off board distances of 32 feet (10 meters) and 26 feet (8 meters), respectively, are recommended.
www.nfhs.org
Rule Change
6‐9‐4, 6‐9‐5, 6‐9‐7LONG JUMP/TRIPLE JUMP
Per the statewide rules interpreter, “The new specifications are not meant to make existing pits “illegal”, it is to provide a standard for the design of new horizontal jump facilities.” Use common sense when determining the distances of the scratch line to the pit and remember that athletes can change board during competition with prior notification to the official.

8‐1‐1 THRU 3 COURSE
ART. 1 …The cross country course shall be 2500 to 5000 meters (1.5 to 3.1 miles) in length as determined by the meet director or games committee. Measurement shall be along the shortest possible route a runner may take on the prescribed course. The course shall be clearly marked. This may be by a single wide line or boundary lines, both inside and outside marked with a material which is not injurious to the eyes or skin. The use of natural or artificial boundary markers may also be used. Signposts with large directional arrows wherever the course turns, or flags about 1‐foot square and mounted on stakes which hold them 6 feet or more above the ground shall be used. Note: If a single wide line is used it may or may not mark the shortest possible route a runner may take.
FLAG DESIGNATIONS∙ A red flag indicates a turn to the left. Runners must stay on the right side of the flag.∙ A yellow flag indicates a turn to the right. Runners must stay on the left side of the flag.∙A blue flag indicates a course straight ahead. Runners may run on either side of the flag.

OFFICIALS SAFETY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
IN VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL JUMPS
The safety of the athletes and officials is most important before, during and after the competition.
Eliminating hazardous conditions from the venue• Foreign debris in the landing area, • Inspection of the runway for tripping hazards • Removing equipment out of harm's way. • Always be prepared for the unexpected even though the event seems to be progressing as planned.

SAFETY AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL JUMPS
Horizontal Jumps• Make sure pits are full of sand and turned, • Shovels and rakes are placed tines down after use to avoid
accidental injuries. • Inspect each takeoff board and pit edges. Also instruct those
raking the pit to keep the sand off the track as much as possible.
Vertical Jumps• Make sure the pits meet the rule standard, • Pits are correct size and properly padded, • Check that each crossbar meets standards and is clearly
marked. • In pole vault, double check standards and extenders, and
that the planting box is free of water and in good condition.
www.nfhs.org
Points of Emphasis
SAFETY AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL JUMPS
During warm‐ups, pay special attention when athletes are trying to set their marks and other competitors are on the runway or apron.• Athletes running away from the pit or mat to set their marks with
or without implements can be hazardous to other competitors and officials in the area if no one is paying attention.
Remember to control the runway during practice and during the competition. If another event (i.e., throwing) is in progress near your venue, warn the athletes to pay attention when participating and leaving the event.
Be attentive when you are at the venue particularly when track events are in progress.
Instruct the athletes as to which direction to exit the pit or mat so as not to interfere with oncoming runners or adjacent events.
