Just this past weekend, Athing Mu of Texas A&M demolished the collegiate outdoor record in the Women’s 800 Meters and became the 10th fastest woman in American history with her 1:57.73 effort at the Michael Johnson Invitational. Mu led the race wire-to-wire and even hit a negative split, crossing 400 meters in around 60 seconds and then closing in near 57.
“I didn’t really have a goal,” Mu told GigEm247. “I kind of self-consciously thought, ‘I may just come out here and run a collegiate record at 1:59.’ You could say I was thinking 1:59, but I also just wanted to come out here and be competitive and run my race.”
Mu’s all-time collegiate best came nearly one month to the day that Tara Davis of Texas took down Jackie Joyner’s 38-year-old collegiate outdoor record in the long jump. Davis soared 7.14m (23-5½) not long after Benjamin Azamati of West Texas A&M posted the first sub-10 second 100-meter clocking in NCAA Division II history at 9.97.
And, it was also this past weekend that Megan Wallace of UW-Eau Claire took down a 29-year-old NCAA Division III heptathlon record. Wallace amassed 5471 points, topping the former all-time best of 5467 established by Kim Oden of Nebraska Wesleyan back in 1992.
That’s not all that happened so far this outdoor season.

Got all that? Good, because it was a bear to type out.
We’ll see a plethora of new marks added to the all-time chart as the season continues forward.
How many? That is yet to be seen, but we’ll be ready when it happens.
