Collegiate Records—MenRecords as ratified by the T&FN Records Committee include only those made by NCAA athletes, no NAIA or JUCO performances.
We consider the collegiate season to end with the NCAA Championships, but we do append marks made through August 31 of an athlete's senior year. If a foreign athlete has the best mark, we sub-list the best ever by an American. We also sub-list the low altitude best if the top mark is altitude-aided
Symbols:
' after name = non-U.S. citizen
(AmC) = American-born collegian
(A) = altitude-aided mark--over 1000m of altitude (in affected events only)
i = made indoors (banked-track marks not acceptable)
p = mark still pending ratification | Track Events |
