Events? There are some pretty athletic kids that can score points in more than 4. I know they are probably concerned about the health of the athlete, but if they are athletic enough to meet state qualification marks in that many events, they should be fine.

I met 4A qualifying standards in 7 different events and we had to chose which 4 I had the best chance to win (I had a decent shot at 6 of the 7).

I understand that many winning teams score about 70-90 points, so that isn't very well rounded to let one kid score 60 or 70 points, but many high school sports teams can be carried by a single athlete.
