Why is it legal for high schools and colleges to compete in the same exact meet and races, at the same time? The meet I am talking about was the Embry-Riddle Track Meet on Feb. 19th. Are the high school association rules different in Florida? I would think that this would not be allowed, but at this meet, it was. Can anyone clarify how this is allowed? Thanks.
Some meets are open meets and others are not. Open meets allow all runners to join.
some meets have hs and college meets going on at the same time. You can think of them as separate meets, w/ hs only events and college/post hs events.
Open and all comers meets allow anyone.
If they were HS and College run simultaneously, HS runners would be in separate heats from College runners and the team results would not be combined, as they were at this meet.
whoa hahaha i was just looking at the results and the highschoolers are my friends from school. i feel mindf*cked.
