Why are athletes allowed to participate in only three events at a track meet?
A – ” Per the Ohio High School Athletic Association for grades 7 & 8 : In any one track and field contest , a participant may compete in a maximum of 3 events . The events may be any combination of track and field events including relays , or may be 3 track events or 3 field events . Participation limitation Penalty : An athlete who exceeds the participation limitation becomes an ineligible athlete . Per Federation Rules Penalty : All individual points , team points and places earned by that competitor exceeding limits in the meet shall be forfeited and the competitor disqualified from further competition in that meet.” CYO adheres to the three event limitation rule for all athletes in all grades in CYO Track.
