With the exception of two 1500 m races contested in 1984 and 1985, the mile is the only event on the NCAA schedule that has not transitioned from imperial measurements to metric. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used. In 1986 and 1987, the 1⁄10-mile track that the races were run on was 25 inches (640 mm) per lap short, making the actual race distance less than one mile those years.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Monday, 24 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Mile run at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @[email protected] check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.
