Long jump spikes should be fine for triple jump, the take-off is just a bit different, similar to PV. I'd probably prefer TJ spikes, if I had to do both disciplines, but it doesn't matter that much.

Why not use the Long jump spikes in the 4x100 though? It's not like they are useless for sprinting.

Thanks! He'll probably do that (same spikes for all 3 events) if that feels right. They should be here in a week and the first meet's in 5 weeks
