Lots of talk about the jump in NCAA performances over the last several years, so I decided to build a tool to illustrate it. For a chosen event and range of years, this will plot and list the performance marks at one or more selected positions on the NCAA descending order list.
I had a lot of fun playing around with this tool as a more efficient alternative to searching through the descending order lists, so I thought I would share it here. Please let me know of any suggestions or features you would like added!
Notes:
- This is currently limited to the NCAA D1 indoor level, but I plan on expanding to outdoors and other divisions.
- The data comes from the TFRRS regular season leaderboards, with altitude and flat track conversions already applied. Results from the national championship are not included.
- I excluded relays for now because the TFRRS lists include multiple performances per school, which will require extra effort to filter out.
- The page might take a while (30+ seconds) to load at first but should be relatively responsive afterwards.
