I don't know about track meets, but in N.C. baseball and softball we are instructed that if a "uniform" violation can not be corrected to allow the player to participate and notify the booking agent.
The rational behind this is that in most county school systems are not supplied with public funds to uniform and equip their sports teams. The booster clubs must raise the funds, and in some of the less afflluent counties it is difficult to raise the funds to keep the teams properly uniformed.
I would be extreamly suprised if Chapel Hill would honor any such protest here.
