Question concerning the HIGH SCHOOL track and field rules and regulations?

It states in the rules that an athlete may not wear metal in your hair, and you cannot wear jewelry. I purchased an under-armor like shirt that zippers up the back - and part of the zipper is visible. Would this defy the rules concerning metal, or is this competely legal?|||A zipper on your clothing is not metal in your hair.


I have never seen or heard of this problem.


A zipper is not jewelry, and unless the shirt is not a solid color it is not a problem.


Unless the shirt is multi colored or striped or is something other than a solid color it is not a problem.|||I run track and the only rules are you cannot wear jewelry in the races not to distract other runners and judges. You can tape jewelry to yourself for religious purposes as long as it doesn't show. It nowhere mentions zippers that keep your clothes on, which would be a greater distraction than a little metal on your neck.|||Take the article of clothing to your coach and ask him. He should know the rules in your state.





If you are concerned, make sure you bring a back up undershirt to your meets, in case the officials have a problem with it. If you can, ask the official before the meet starts so you have time to change.|||I really doubt it counts as metal because the zipper is PART of your athletic outfit. It's an under-armor shirt, so they shouldn't say anything.|||you shouldnt have any troubles. In a state meet they would be more strict than in a dual meet, but even still with something like that they shouldnt say anything
