This year will mark the final group of athletes to have competed in the old AAA/AA/A system. Historically speaking these meets were larger and at times more competitive. See for yourself though as the numbers tell a different story at times. Below are the state meet records for every classification and the easiest mark or time to ever win a state title.
Some notes: We included the years for the AAA easiest marks since the history is significantly longer than any other meet. We did not include 'A' girls because there is no information on them since girls' indoor track became a sport years after.
