Jonathan,
Regarding your question of March 1st @ 2.31 p.m.
��Can IAAF races be run on NCAA tracks?��
Jonathan, it is best to read the following:
2004 National Collegiate Athletic Association Track & Field & Cross
Country Rules
RULE 1
SECTION 1
ARTICLE 2
The running track shall be not less
than 1/4 stat.ml. in length nor less than 21' in width. Lanes shall have the
same width with a recommended minimum of 42'' and a maximum of 48'' including
the white line to the right. Lanes shall be marked on both sides by white
lines 2'' wide. The lanes shall be numbered with lane one on the left when
facing the finish line. The track may be bordered on the inside by a curb of
concrete, wood or suitable material a minimum of 2'' in height and width. The
edges of the curb shall be rounded. Prevailing wind conditions should be
considered when constructing running tracks.
Jonathan, the 1/4 stat.ml. running track of the NCAA, is 4h/m 2-/m 3 di/m 3
c/m 7 m/m long. It therefore follows that the International Amateur Athletic
Federation�s 4 h/m race can easily fit onto the NCAA track.
NCAA RUNNING TRACK
