Current meet records for the Group AAA State Outdoor Track & Field Championships. With a change of venue to Sports Backers Stadium and the 1/8 spike limitations gone from Todd Stadium, there is a greater chance for some of these records to fall. Active events are highlighted in bold, while extinct events are still listed. Ronnie Ray's 440 Yard performance in 1972, Jim Hill's 1979 two mile performance, and Linda Portasik's mile performance in 1979 stand as metric state meet records still when converted over from yards.
