Track & Field is a community. While a new class gets added to the community each year, we'll be honest - we don't stop keeping an eye on how athletes are running even after they graduate. For example, Hazelwood Central graduate, Ashley Henderson, currently ranks in the top ten in the country in the 60m and top 20 in the 200m. Truman grad Cole Rockhold just set the school record for Colorado State in the 3K, blazing the 7th fastest time in the country in the 3K - 7:50.10. For those of you used to the 3200m, that's worth an 8:24 for the 8-lap race.
Because of this, we've always wanted to see how Missouri graduates would rank amongst each other. Today, we start our weekly series where we bring you those rankings. You can see more in-depth rankings for each event by clicking on the event name.

Some housekeeping items
- The NCAA does some advanced conversions for altitude and different track types, but for now, we are keeping it simple.
- Outside of high school, the track community uses the metric system for field events.
