Collegiate Track & Field All-Time Best Marks

updated June 3, 2023
This 'all-dates' list combines all indoor and outdoor marks and from all points on the calendar. Marks from after the collegiate season were made by collegians who used a year of eligibility during the year in question. The USTFCCCA Communications Office does not recoginze marks after the collegiate season as 'records' or as holding spots on the official all-time lists. Thus, this list is for reference only. To find officially recogized marks, use the single-sport lists provided for 'indoor' and 'outdoor' track & field. Don't see a mark listed that should be? Let us know: Submit addition
