Pentathlon
The pentathlon counts as one event. You can use a pentathletes performance in one or 2 of the field events towards your field event relays performance. If you wish to have your athlete be considered for the hurdle finals, you must declare this before the start of the meet. This would count as an event whether they advance to the final or not. Pentathletes will contest field events during the open field event competition. They will have the option of going back and forth between the long jump and shot put or taking all three of their attempts in one field event at one time.
