800 meters at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships
Appearance
(Redirected from 880 yards at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships)
This is a list of the NCAA outdoor champions in the 800 meters or its imperial equivalent 880 yard run. The imperial distance was run until 1975, while the metric 800 meters was contested in Olympic years starting in 1932. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were at the metric distance. Hand timing was used until 1973, while starting in 1974 fully automatic timing was used. The women's race began in 1982.
