Spikes are not allowed at the state HS course. It's in the handbook. It makes no sense to wear them at several other venues. Having said that, why do people claim it's not legal to wear spikes at all in the state of California. It's not written anywhere, at least that I can find in our section. In Norcal, runners come from NV and wear them all over the place. Please prove me wrong if you have better info.
