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.

Sports” at the top of the home

According to the 2015-16
NFHS High School Athletics
Participation Survey, there are

16,547 schools and 485,969
girls at 16,508 schools.
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

Oregon Subarea (Humbug Mt
to the OR/CA Border) both
remain open seven days per

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.
