2 C SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2017 NFHS revises track, cross country rules Beginning this fall, all uni- forms worn in high school track and field, as well as cross country, must be either issued or approved by the school. The uniform revision in Rule 4-3-1 was one of the four revisions recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Track and Field Rules Committee at its June 12-14 meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were sub- sequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. In other changes, a new penalty was added to Rule 6- 2-14. Several prohibitions regarding competitors’ actions were included in the rule but had no associated penalty if the rule was not followed, which created confusion for enforcement. The appropriate penalty of disqualification from the event has been added. This revision provides con- sistency in establishing a range for the length of the crossbar in pole vault, similar A uniform revision rule was one of the four revisions recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Track and Field Rules Committee. The committee also revised Rule 6-5-11, establishing that the nonmetal crossbar in the pole vault shall not be less than 14 feet, 8 inches, or longer than 14 feet, 10 inches. to high jump. Language in Rule 8-6-1 (cross country) regarding track and field uniforms was eliminated and replaced with: “Each competitor’s uniform shall meet all requirements and restrictions as presented in Rules 4-3-1 and 4-3-2, Competitor’s Uniform in Track and Field and Cross Country.” The change was made by the committee in order to eliminate duplicate language within the two separate sec- tions. A complete listing of the track and field rules changes is available on the NFHS website at www.nfhs.org.

Central Coast all-depth halibut season closed until Aug. 4 NEWPORT — Decent weather and good fishing this past weekend allowed anglers to harvest most of the remain- ing quota for the Central Oregon Coast (Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt.) spring all-depth sport halibut fishery. Therefore, there will be no additional back-up dates open. The summer all-depth fish- ery opens Aug. 4-5, and occurs Cyclists from 1C fathoms) and the Southern Oregon Subarea (Humbug Mt to the OR/CA Border) both remain open seven days per week until the quotas are taken or Oct. 31, whichever is earlier. For the latest season infor- mation on halibut fishing visit www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/fin- fish/halibut/index.asp. along the way to present grants to cancer research and treat- ment centers. More than 615 students have made the trek from Austin to Alaska, collectively raising more than $7 million in the fight against cancer since the ride began in 2003. Most of the students ride for a friend or family member who has battled cancer — and per- haps lost. A few ride in honor of their own battles with can- cer, and many simply ride because they want to see an end to cancer, period. “Every one of these young men and women in Texas 4000 are committed to the fight against cancer,” said Scott Crews, Executive Director of Texas 4000. “These young leaders have trained hard and possess determination in tack- ling the more than 4,000 mile ride from Austin to Anchorage, a journey we see as a metaphor for the fight against cancer.” “Texas 4000 requires a lot of tenacity,” said Sarah Nielsen, a rising senior at The University of Texas at Austin and the Sierra Route Ride Director. “Biking across the country is not an easy feat. It requires a lot of resilience to wake up every morning, get on your bike, and continue on with the journey. “We find that inner strength and motivation from the people we ride for, our teammates, and the hope for a cancer-free future.” Shortly after their return home, the riders will celebrate their incredible journey at the Tribute Gala on Friday, Aug. 25, at the JW Marriott.
