17. The pole vault mat will be set according to the wind direction at the start of the competition and will remain set up like this until the conclusion of the meet. We will set up the mat so that the wind is at the athlete's back if our facility allows for this.
18. Competitors excused to compete in another event shall have a maximum of 10 minutes from the time they complete their trial or race until they must make themselves available for the next trial. Track events take priority over field events and the vertical jumps take priority over horizontal jumps and throws. Athletes must follow these guidelines for our meet to run smoothly.
19. Field event judges will continue trials in the long jump, triple jump, shot put, disc, and javelin after an athlete leaves to compete in another event. Athletes will be required to complete their remaining trials when they return. Athletes will be allowed all of their trials if they return in a timely manner.
