Overall Alltime Best Performers in each event



The lists below were (primarily) compiled from printed results in the Courier Journal and Louisville Times. Because some results were never printed and most were incomplete, it is possible that some performances were not included below. If you can provide any information regarding any performances that are not included below, then please contact me by email.

Only those athletes meeting a specific cutoff for a particular event are listed (the cutoffs for each event are given with the list for that event).

All times available through the links below are reported as FAT. Handtimes are adjusted by rounding up to the next higher tenth, followed by adding 0.24 seconds to all races at or below 400 meters and 0.14 seconds to all races over 400 meters (* = converted handtime). An "X" indicates that the time was converted from yards to meters (go here for an explanation on that conversion).
