Starting heights will be determined after the fields for the high jump and pole vault have been selected. In the throws and long and triple jumps, the fields will be broken down into flights. Each athlete will get 4 attempts. We will measure the first fair mark for each athlete. Subsequent attempts will be measured only if they are equal to or further than the predetermined minimum mark.The throws will be broken down into flights. Each competitor will get 3 throws. The top 8 marks will advance to the finals and competitors will be given 3 more throws. The best throw from the previous 3 throws will count as a farthest throw for each competitor. Long and triple jump competitors will be given 4 jumps and the farthest jump will win. The jumps are only finals.
