MSHSAA guidelines: In the old days, it was 4 inches below the 8th best. Now it is 10CM. If less than 8, same for the last on the list with a height turned in. If a kid cannot clear that, have them find another event.Avg is ok. I was running the high jump at a track meet. Some coaches came up to me and said you can't start the bar at that height not everyone will clear opening height. Wth. I think I'm done helping with field events. I missed some of my daughter's events to run that. No way next year.
