Who was the last to set one?

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

This is so long ago it's ridiculous, but it's the last I can remember :

Curtis Mills in 440 Y in about 1969 or 70 at I think 44.7yh. Beat Lee Evans.

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

thought of a later one.... Boden from ( Texas ? ) in new JT... about 1990.

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

The frequency of these will pretty closely parallel the number of WRs set on US soil... Who wants to do the research and make the graphs?

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

you're right... I got mixed up 'cuz I was at the '90 meet at Duke and he won. So I'm back to my Mills answer.

Ralph Mann's WR in the 440y Hurdles was the year after Mills.

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

Dwight Stones set a HJ record six years after Mann's run. Can't remember anything more recent.

Big D is the right answer.... for ratified records....

How about wind-aided fastest-ever (at the time)?

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

How about world records set in the United States?

And forget about nonsense distances in yards and
stuff like 1600M and 3200M, or anything indoors, which doesn't count for s**t, unless you are a female vaulter, apparently...

Re: WRs In The NCAA Championships

Salazar's 2:08:13 in NYC Marathon in 1981 or 82 (can't remember off the top of my head, but 1981 I think) was the recognized WR at the time.

Has there been a more recent one on US soil?

Think again. If you're talking about ratified WR's (which is what gh mentioned), Salazar's record could not have been so recognized because the IAAF didn't recognize world records in road events then.
