Sprints and middle distance keep falling
100m boys: 9.92 (Tate Taylor, 2025). Girls: 10.89 (Shawnti Jackson, 2023). The 400m and 800m boys' records both fell in 2025, to Quincy Wilson (44.10) and Cooper Lutkenhaus (1:42.27).
High school track records (US, NFHS-recognized) are the ceiling of the sport at the prep level. Below are current records for the major events, boys and girls. Most athletes will not break a national record, but knowing them sets the scale for state-meet qualifying and D1 recruiting standards.
