2019 Was A Record-Breaking Year In Collegiate Track & Field

We saw a staggering number of awe-inspiring performances on the track and in the field in 2019.

You could even go as far as saying many of them were record-breaking. We would.

From The USTFCCCA InfoZone: Records & Lists

A total of 42 records fell between the five collegiate divisions (NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NJCAA and NAIA) during the indoor and outdoor seasons, including eight collegiate records (six of which were turned in by athletes from the SEC).

There were eight athletes who broke multiple individual records in 2019:

• Grant Holloway, Florida – Men’s 60 Meter Hurdles (CR), Men’s 110 Meter Hurdles (CR)
• Mondo Duplantis, LSU – Men’s Indoor Pole Vault (CR), Men’s Outdoor Pole Vault (CR)
