Track Records

I ran across some Fort Wayne area track and field Sectional 7 State records and was surprised at the dates of some of the records... some of the records have been converted their Metric equivalents. It's not just that Matt Confer and Steve Arnold are still sectional record holders after more than 30 years, but it appears that 1975-1985 was a decade of fantastic track and field athletes. Not only have many of the records stood the test of time, but today's runners seldom even come close. Who knew we were living in a golden age...
