Overall Alltime Best Indoor Track Performers in each event



The lists below were (primarily) compiled from meet results and, in some cases, printed results from the Courier Journal. Because some earlier results were never printed and at best incomplete, it is possible that some performances were not included below. If you can provide any information regarding any performances that are not included below, then please contact me by email.

Only those athletes meeting a specific cutoff for a particular event are listed (the cutoffs for each event are given below, and with the list for that event).

All times available through the links below are reported as FAT. If the original time for an athlete was a handtime, that handtime was adjusted according to the conventional approach suggested by "track authorities", which is to adjust the handtime (first) by rounding up to the next higher tenth, followed by adding 0.24 seconds (* = converted handtime).
