MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS TRACK & FIELD RECORD BOOK 

Record Individual Performances at the
annual Upper Peninsula state meet

Last Updated: October 3, 2004

On March 26, 1998, a group of track experts gathered in East Lansing to correct the state's prep track record book. Over the years, a number of changes and advances in track and field have blurred Michigan's true record holders. Primarily, this was due to the move to metric distances from the old yard standard, and the move away from hand timed events to fully automated timing (FAT). The following is a corrected list.

DEFINITIONS

* = Event no longer run

HT = Hand Timed event

w = Wind Aided

y = Event run on a yard track

Semi = record made in a preliminary heat

All times in a running event were contested on a metric track with FAT unless otherwise noted.

Where a record is marked with a notable achievement (NP) in the column marked YEAR - This is a time or distance that the committee felt was too close to call. It was decided by the committee to recognize these individuals until a future time or mark would clearly better the present record.
