List of United States collegiate records in track and field
Jenny Barringer set collegiate records in six events representing the Colorado Buffaloes, though none of them still stand
Elijah Hall posing with the clock after setting a collegiate record of 20.02 seconds in the indoor 200 m, a mark that also stands as the American record and the No. 2 performance of all time
The United States collegiate records in track and field are the best marks in track and field events from collegiate athletes (of any nationality), done while the athletes were competing for an American institution of higher education. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) track and field system has been touted as one of the main reasons for the success of the United States on the global stage of athletics. All of the collegiate records come from athletes competing in the NCAA, with the exception of the outdoor women's 1500 metres record (NAIA).
In the case of outdoor record-breaking performances achieved during the summer after the relevant national collegiate spring track and field championship (for example, the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships) has passed, both the best summer mark and the best in-season mark are listed.
Some of the records are maintained by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association or the Track & Field News publication.
Key: record by American-born athlete(s) (only where marks would differ) Not ratified or later rescinded by USTFCCCA
