List of United States records in track and field


The following are the national records in track & field in the United States. Some of the records are maintained by USA Track & Field. Outdoor times for track races between 200 meters to 10,000 meters are set on 400-meter unbanked tracks. Indoor marks are established on 200-meter tracks, banked or unbanked. Indoor tracks longer than 200 meters are considered "oversized" and times are not accepted for record purposes. Indoor sprint races are held on level straight-aways.
