At the end of December, staffer Brian Sumers wrote about how the National Federation of High School State Associations is cracking down on illegal uniforms – and how some area coaches think the rules are nitpicky, at best. Trinity athletics director Vince Drake said, “This is so idiotic and cumbersome that it is a pain in the backside.”

Turns out it’s not just basketball uniforms getting the extra scrutiny.

Today The Washington Post has a story about Juashaunna Kelly, a star high school runner in Washington, D.C., who was disqualified from a track invitational because the uniform she wears to confirm to her Muslim faith doesn’t conform to NFHSSA guidelines. Kelly has been wearing the same uniform — a unitard that covers her head, arms and legs over the team’s shorts and shirt — for three years.

Meet director Tom Rogers told the Post the NFHSAA mandates that uniforms are “a single-solid color and unadorned, except for a single school name or insignia no more than 2 1/4 inches.”
