PROTESTS: All protests must be filed at the protest table by the coach or the individual competitor if not competing for a club. A parent may file for an unattached runner. All coaches must abide by USATF Competition Rules and any supplemental rules; failure to do so may result in the disqualification of an athlete or their team.
