JO Peg Length
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 3:05 am
OK I am too lazy to dig up the thread where we discussed the peg length for the Junior Olympic meets...
I asked Bill Roe about this last week, and we talked about it again tonight. He was pretty sure that USATF did not pass the shorter peg length for the youth meets. Which makes sense... most Association meets are at high schools... how many of them have shorter pegs?
Either way, no kid would be denied a chance to compete at Regionals or Nationals if they jumped on the wrong length of peg, because they qualify by how they place.
