If Spira running shoes are banned by the USATF, does that mean I can't use them in Highschool races in NC?

Good question...USATF is the governing body of the United States Track and Field team (the professional runners). But the NFHS (national Federation of high school rules) is the governing body of high school track and field. Now every state also has a governing body for example. I am from Pennsylvania and our high school rules came from the PIAA. The PIAA rule book is almost exactly the same as the NFHS rule book and the NFHS rule book is similar to USATF's rules. But there are differences so you would have to look in the rule book that NC uses. HINT: your coach will have that book! good luck

Most everyone here recognizes PETA for what they are. As an insider on racing, I just wanted to add that Breeders today do little to effect the actual evolutionary genetic change. 99% of the breeding directed at least amount of skeletal to maximum amount of muscle were completed by the mid to late 1800's by religious techniqe that is in NO way rivaled today. Breeding a thoroughbred period with their close genetic make up, offers more chance for indentical chromosome reintroduction then anything we can do to chose here and there. Some thoroughbreds ARE 100% ready @ two years old, This fact stands, has stood, on Many fronts and attempts in the past to prove otherwise, however some bloodlines take a lil longer to reach full skeletal composure. A Program to specifically recoginze and and control the start of those specific lines is the ONLY way to protect those horses who will become injured due to skeletal immaturaty, NO!!!!!! organization has attepmted to approach the issue in this manner. We start EVERYTHING @3 two other barns we know, start at 3. The only time we start one at 2 years old, is if the horse is looking fully mature at 15 to 16 mos, and has a pedegree which contains several 2yo's with record performance, and or triple crowners.
