Track & Field Records

A note on School Records.....

While not every performance on here can be verified as a wind legal performance, we have adopted the rule/understanding that school records should be with winds at or below +3.0. If it is unknown whether a past performance is wind legal or not and it is listed as the record, the current record will be maintained until a wind legal mark bests the current mark. 

Over the last 20 years there has been a gradual shift toward MORE automatic timed track meets. Currently over the last 15-20 years, nearly every meet is automatic timed with current state qualifying standards based on TIMING and accurate measurement. Therefore, there is considerable weight given to performances that have been automatically timed. Past, say prior to 2000, there were still a lot of meets that were HAND TIMED and or some variation of hand timing with old technology. Performances are researched as much as possible and if found to be hand timed those performances are subject to a CONVERSION based on the National Federation of State High School Federations governing body for high school athletics.

CONVERTING MANUAL TIMES TO FAT:  Hand-held times must be rounded up before adding a conversion. The conversion factor of .24 seconds between fully automatic timing (FAT) and manual timing (MT) must be used when conversions are desired (i.e., MT + .24 = FAT).
