Mass used to have one track/one field/one relay. Now it's two of either plus relay, though there can be two relays and one individual (I think) Still can't do more than one event over 400 - no 800/mile, mile/2, 800/2. >This was about 6 years ago.

RI also runs 1500/3000, as well as throwing the hammer (and weight indoors). Some sections of NY have the girls' racewalk. And don't NY men run the steeplechase?
