The 2017-2018 INdoor season is upon us!
For this blog, that means it's time to tell all athletes what marks they need to achieve to make my DDD lists--aka Top 24 All-Time Performers lists!!
As with any INdoor (or OUTdoor!) Preview, there are some guidelines!
The lists are for my 4 core groups--World, US, Collegiate, and HS!
These lists are for INdoors ONLY!!
NO Oversize Track marks are included!
For HS'ers, NO 1600 or 3200 marks, nor those converted FROM them!
For HS Men, the United States HS weighted throwing implements are used, as are the 39 inch hurdles!
The Men's HS Pentathlon list also includes HS weights, etc ONLY!
HS Women use International weights and hurdle heights!
The Collegiate 300 list, as well as the US 2000 list, is short of 24!
First, I want to give you an overview---
In 2015, these 8 lists (Men & Women combined) produced 373 marks!
It came down one in 2016, to 372.
But in 2017, we saw 451 (!!!) marks on my lists dated 2017!!
(That will probably change, as my lists have only the year--no month or day--listed. Thus marks made in November or December of 2016 were part of the YEAR 2016--even though those Nov-Dec marks were NOT part of the 2015-2016 season!!)
The breakdown--
HS Men had 54, while the Women got 69!
The Collegiate Men have 45 marks, while the Women have 63.
The US lists were 54 for the Men, 77 for the Women!
And the World lists saw a more even distribution--42 Men's, 47 Women's!
Totals were 195 for the Men, and a whopping 256 for the Women!!
Can the 500 milestone be reached this season??
Men go first, with each list showing the CURRENT needed mark on the left, with 2016's on the right, with any differential noted!!
The 2016 marks are in parentheses!
NOTE: I didn't have lists for the 300's last year, so no 2016 marks are listed!
Also, as mentioned, the 2017 Collegiate 300 list, as well as the US 2000 list, are short of 24!
I'll be doing 2 groups at a time, for easier reading!

NOTE: The HS Men's & Women's 600's, plus the World 4X400 Relay , show marks needed for this year as SLOWER than those needed last year!
I believe that one or more marks I had were eliminated for one reason or another--thus I needed to find a "replacement" mark. I chose the closest mark I could find to add to my list.
(However, I feel pretty certain those lists will add enough marks this year so we're back to "normal"!!)
Also, for the US Women's 2000 list--it's short, and I have a limit of 5:59.99 to make that list!
I added that 5:58.45 time to the list, thus making this still-short list with a slower time needed!
One more item--improvements in field events are shown in INCHES!
Thus, the "13.00" in the Women's HS Weight Throw means they improved 13 INCHES!!
Amazingly--and thrillingly!!--the Women's Collegiate lists saw EVERY event change from 2016, while HS'ers had just 2 events not go through changes!!
There were SIX events that remained the same this year on my World lists, but just one for the US!!
With a World Championship, and an additional IAAF World Tour meet, plus some exciting "new" meets set for this season, I'm hoping we'll see FIVE HUNDRED marks with "2018" next to them at season's end!!
(Of course, additional marks could come in November & December of 2018, as well as marks that come if events are moved INdoors during the "off- season"--such as when the Zurich DL held their PV INside their train station!!)
Next--and FINAL!!--INdoor Previews will be for which World, US, Collegiate, and HS Records might fall this season!!
I'll probably do this in two posts--one for each gender!!
And hopefully, I'll have some INdoor marks to report--with Cameron Haught's Mile Walk of 7:00.75 being the 1st! (See previous post!)
Also, I' hope to have a Review of the book "18 Months Raising the Bar" for you soon--probably in early December!!
(It tells the story of the time--18 months!--when Sandi Morris and Demi Payne went wild in the PV--exchanging wins and Records often--making for one of the most exciting "era's" in Collegiate, US, and even World!--PV history!!)
See you soon!
