Once the marshal has left the clerks area for the next event an athlete will not be allowed to run in that event.
The 10 minute check-in /check-out rule will be in effect. If an athlete is in a field event and gets a first call for a running event, they should check out of their field event and check-in at the Clerks Table and then return to the field event. Event judges will be instructed to allow athletes to go out of turn if necessary but have 10 minutes to return to the field event or will be disqualified. The Clerk will be instructed not to hold athletes competing in field events. It is the responsibility of the athlete to report to the starting line for their event.
