This will get some of the record keepers on here in an uproar!

The OATCCC & @OHMileSplit are excited to announce the conversion of 200 m track results to 300 m / banked track times for the 2025 Indoor Track & Field Season!!!! #letsgooooooo

This doesn't surprise me at all. It looks my other thread https://yappi.com/forum/index.php?t...m-the-community-indoor-all-time-lists.376652/ was fortuitous. I SWEAR I had no knowledge of OATCCC & Ohio MileSplit doing this.

This does not change requirements for record-keeping, however. Records can only be made on 200m tracks or less (less are hard to find these days, however). I will be curious to see how they will delineate, if at all, on what sized tracks each mark are made on. On my lists, it will be quite clear as I have a whole database on track sizes around the midwest and those of a few of the big meets.

This is great news. I always thought athletes in the northeast part of the state had a huge advantage in indoor season with Spire, Akron, Youngstown, Kent, Ashland all fairly close for most of them. SW/SE schools have two meets at Wittenberg or 3-5 hour drives ahead of them to find 300m opportunities.
 
Just a gentle reminder...only marks made on 200m tracks, flat or banked, are recognized for record purposes. Conversions are only for comparative and entry purposes.
