Pit ruling?

[Erica]

Kansas Relays now uses a board runway set up in the middle of the football field. It is a set-up, especially with the turf field. It rained inches last year and an hour later the turf was dry! No runway drainage issues there.

Boards RULE..............if their built right.

I don't think there is a rule like that in WA. I have been to a number of meets there where the pit butts right up against the track. One kicked off crossbar and a whole slew of distance runners could be taken out Never actually seen that happen, but it's been close a few times.

Actually, I've seen "near-misses" a number of times where someone will hook the crossbar and send it sailing towards the rear of the pit onto the track. I videotape all the meets I work and some of the close ones would be spectacular if the timing was off by about .1-.2 seconds! But it still beats getting hit by a javelin or discus . . .
