We already did.
Good call by the coach who pointed it out. Evereyone else has to take off their jewelry.
The stupid ashes at Si can only think of that to put on their crap website. A million other great HS stories and all they write about is Allison Stokke and bracelets ?

Exactly right. Why do people think the rules don't apply to them?
Knowles obviously saw the bracelet on her first aborted run but waited to see if she cleared so he could then have her disqualified. What kind of sportsmanship is that teaching? Jeez, if I was the AD I'd fire him.
6 posts and nobody pointing out that the vaulter is hot?

I'm more surprised that no one has pointed out that if that bracelet had snagged on the pole as she was doing her push off every swinging dick and skanky twat within 100 miles would declare meet officials incompetent for not identifying it immediately.
So....7'6" was gonna win the meet? Yikes.
If the bracelet was made of string or yarn then it is clothing, not jewelry. Akin to a really skinny sweat band or a hair band.
Protest it.
The real bad guys here are the members of the NFHS committee who keep the no jewelry rule in the book.
She's very hot, but rules are rules. Surprised she hasn't been reprimanded before.

THIS, boneheads, is the correct answer.
The HS jewelry rule is odd. In this case it is crummy. Don't HS athletes get wrist bands for the big meets? The braid of thread is minimal. It is not a wooden bangle, silver, gold, mesh, plastic or even a woven lanyard.
Talk about yanking the rug out beneath someone.

True as the reasoning of safety has limited impact. If it truly was a safety issue why hasn't the NCAA and IAAF followed suit. However, the real argument is that the official of the event should have announced to all participants that jewelry is not allowed in event. Kids forget very easily.
Furthermore, the official should have made the call and not the coach. Then there would be no conflict of interest.
Just another example of common sense being thrown out the window under the guise of a "rule" or "law". You fhcktards that stand behind your "rules" and "laws" should just check yourself into prison as you have surely broken some on a weekly basis. Most more often than that.

The safety reasoning was only marginal as I have heard someone who was on that rules committee at the time state that one of the reasons was to bring track and cross country more into line with other sports that had that rule (i.e. basketball and football).
I disagree that the official should have announced it though. It is an NFHS rule, has been for several years. Every athlete at every meet at every highschool in the country is subject to it. In most states coaches are supposed to take knowledge tests on the rules. It is the coaches job to impart these rules to the kids. They know its going to come up, its not like its a shock or its rare. It might be rare that it is enforced, but it is a uniform rule. Kind of like speeding really. There are places where its not enforced, and cops wont pull you over for going less than 10 under, but if you go someplace and they do, its you're fault.
