Stat of the Week
by John Sullivan - Sully is a track nut who can't get enough track stats. He cranks out lists for his own amusement -- and now he can amuse you as well.


2005 Nike Outdoor Nationals
All-time top 100 miles grouped by meet

Boys - Girls

Notes
- as of 6/25/2005
- includes 1600 conversions. No 1500s.
- includes indoor and outdoor marks
- the Top 100 Mile performer cutoff is 4:07.3 by Ed Delashmutt, IA, in 1976 and 4:48.85c by Lauren Mulkey, CA, in 2004
- most states didn't have girl's high school competition until the 70s and results are hard to find for the 70s and earlier. For example, Texas added a girls state track meet in 1972, Illinois in 1973 and California in 1974.
