JC Records are those ratified by the T&FN Records Committee We consider the collegiate season to end with the JUCO Championships. If a foreign athlete has the best mark, we sub-list the best ever by an American.
Symbols: ‘ after name = not eligible to represent U.S. internationally; (American JC) = U.S.-eligible; listed when the record is held by a ‘ athlete); (A) = altitude-aided mark—over 1000m of altitude (in affected events only); i = made indoors; p = mark still pending ratification
