| The Best High School Track Marks List started out as a top-10 list twenty years ago. It is the hardest list I have to maintain. | |||||||||||||||
| There are so many schools and meets during the track season with many coaches and parents not even knowing this list | |||||||||||||||
| exists. I include indoor and summer meets as part of the ranking. I do not separate indoor from outdoor where events are the | |||||||||||||||
| same. Starting in 2005 the list will simple be a best marks list, not a top-10. I will just keep adding to the present list. In | |||||||||||||||
| the 1600 and 3200 meter races I converted them to the 1-mile and 2-mile. I think this list to be 95% complete, however if | |||||||||||||||
| anyone thinks there should be a mark added, please e-mail me at speed1@roadrunner.com. Tell others like the media, parents, | |||||||||||||||
| other athletes and so on about this list and the other lists I have, in order to give credit to the athletes that have made them. | |||||||||||||||
| Enjoy and GOD Bless | |||||||||||||||
| ABBREVIATIONS: | |||||||||||||||
| X = mark made enroute to a longer distance | |||||||||||||||
| +=converted mark from yards to meters or visa versa | |||||||||||||||
| * = junior | |||||||||||||||
| ** = sophomore | |||||||||||||||
| *** = freshman | |||||||||||||||
| **** = 8th grade or younger | |||||||||||||||
| y = yards | |||||||||||||||
| I = mark made indoors | |||||||||||||||
| TIMING | |||||||||||||||
| The automatic times (listed in 100ths) which make the lists have been placed in a position of correspondingly higher | |||||||||||||||
| value in relation to hand times, which are listed in 10ths (I.e., .24 added to anything under one lap 100m, 100y, | |||||||||||||||
| 200, 110h, etc., .14 to 400m). In the 100y, 100m, 200, 100 and 110 meter hurdles, triple and long jump markes with wind | |||||||||||||||
| exceeding 2.0 meters per second (4.473 mph) are put in the windaided section. The NWI (no wind information) also | |||||||||||||||
| appears in the windaided section. No windgauge reading, no legal mark. | |||||||||||||||
| CONVERSIONS: | |||||||||||||||
| Track & Field News has adopted a policy of converting yards to meters (or vise versa) based upon a ratio between the | |||||||||||||||
| equivalent yard and metric distrance (I.e., 200m to 220y, 400m to 440y, etc.). Therefore, all conversions from yards to | |||||||||||||||
| meters use the ratio .994194 multiplied by the time (in seconds). The resultant number is then rounded to the next | |||||||||||||||
| higher tenth or hundrenth of a second depending upon the timing systems used. This produces conversions, which | |||||||||||||||
| is in most cases, are identical to those used for many years (I.e. 220y to 220m, -.1; 440y to 400m, -.3, etc.). For | |||||||||||||||
| conversions from meters to yards, use the ratio 1.00584. | |||||||||||||||
| As of 10/14/07 | |||||||||||||||
