Questions and Answers about Spikes for Indoor City Championships at Henry Crown Field House

Posted by Jon Gordon on Mar 14 2012 at 05:00PM PDT
Spikes is the operative word.
Spikes – Shoes used to compete in track and field events.
Spikes in this context are legal and are to be used.
Spikes – Metal, cleat like objects that are inserted into shoes to acquire better traction.
Spikes in this context are not legal.
Athletes may use the blank studs to insert into the spikes so that a measure of traction is possible.  Athletes may also run in the spikes (shoes) without the spikes (metal 1/8 objects).
.
The following was issued by the CPS Sports Administration:

Absolutely no food allowed in the facility.  Bring water. Food will have to be accessed from a coach or parent's car, outside of the facility.

Metal/plastic spikes in spike shoes are also not permitted.  CPS and U of. C security will be checking for these things so your compliance is appreciated to avoid, limit or otherwise de-escalate confrontations.
