Information for spectators has not been released from AIA.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electronic devices shall not be used to transmit information to the competitor during the race or trial. Once a field event athlete's name has been called and their trial begins, that athlete may NOT view any video with or without a coach. When an athlete checks in using their watch to communicate or as a phone they will be asked to remove it. • Electronic devices/videos shall not be used for any review of an official’s decision.
Meet management will allow the viewing of video by a field event athlete after the beginning of a trial only if the competitor is taking consecutive trials. This does not change the amount of time the athlete has to initiate a trial.
Do not use a “SMART” watch for anything other than a stopwatch. In the past, athletes have answered phone calls, played music, etc. on their watches and then were asked to remove them in the bullpen. Best practices would have an athlete use a simple watch rather than a smart watch and not risk disqualification. Coaches should also use a traditional stopwatch rather than their phone when timing athletes.
Spike Lengths: Spikes are to be ¼” or less. Note: spikes purchased on Amazon stating they were ¼” were actually longer in 2023. Spikes will be checked. Spikes that are too long will not be allowed in competition.

Notes from the AIA:
No Electronics - per NFHS Rule Interpretation, this means that your athlete will be automatically disqualified (no warning required) if using any electronic device (watch for purposes other than timing race) while in the competition area. Remember that when athletes use headphones, they may and do miss their report calls.
Athletes must wear school issued uniforms to check in. This includes both top and bottom, personal spandex are not part of the school uniform but can be worn as an undergarment. No knots, hair ties, etc. can be used to modify the uniform. Please ensure that your athletes have a uniform that meets the requirements stated in NFHS Rule 4-3-1 and 4-3-2.
Athletes must check into their events when the event is called. NFHS Rule 4-1-3, "Contestants who fail to report prior to the clerk of the course closing the entries in the running events or after the judge starts competition in the field events shall not be allowed to participate in that event." At this time the alternates who have checked in will become contestants in the event. Field event athletes must report to check in at field events at the start of the event, not the start of their flight. When an athlete competing in one event is called to report to another event, he/she must notify the clerk or field event judge and return immediately after checking in.
