What the HS national records look like

Sprints / hurdles are getting faster every year

100m boys: 9.99 (Christian Miller, 2024). Girls: 10.94 (Briana Williams, 2019 - mixed eligibility). 200m, 400m, and hurdles records all set in the past 5-10 years.

Jumps records are decades old in some events

Long jump (boys): 8.10 m / 26'7" (James Stallworth, 1989). High jump (boys): 7'5.75" / 2.28 m (Charles Austin etc.; multiple at this height).

Throws records reward early specialization

Shot put (boys): 81'3.5" / 24.78 m (Michael Carter, 1979) - one of the oldest records still standing. Discus and javelin are more recent but rarely broken.
