StatPack Mark 25 - Introduction
lists now updated to 31st March 2026
Introduction
This update to StatPack Mark 25 updates the last (September 2025) version by including marks achieved during the 2026 indoor season and will be the final version to the lists which were first compiled by Simon Kilminster who produced the first edition of StatPack over 30 years ago.
It is the final full StatPack to feature the current young athletes’ age group records based on the “odd” year categories – Under 13-Under 15-Under 17 – which have been replaced from 1st April 2026 by “even” age groups (Under 14-Under 16-Under 18).
While future editions of the StatPack will carry forward the rankings for seniors, masters and Under 20s, they will in future reflect these age group changes, and will do their best to capture historic performances from athletes within these age categories. As there will be different specifications in the hurdles and throws events many event lists will only start from 1st April 2026.
As usual, some observations on the contents, as follows.
-
Any new listings since September 2025 are highlighted in BLUE while those from September 2024 are highlighted in RED
-
Where an athlete’s best hand time is marginally better than their best electronic times I’ve included the electronic times as well where these are within the rankings limit.
-
Known wind-assisted marks are listed separately. where there is firm or good evidence of wind assistance (e.g. if the annual national rankings show it).
-
Javelin Senior/Junior Men’s marks have been included from 1986 only, when the new specification (800g) came in. For the U15 and U17 Women the new specification (500g) javelin came into effect on 1 April 2014. (The specification for U15 to U17 Women was previously 600g. For seniors the specification changed in 1999 and old pre-1999 specification rankings have been omitted)
-
Shot & Hammer: For the U15 and U17 Women the new specification (3kg) came into effect on 1 April 2014.
As noted previously, the rankings include only performances for athletes who met the age definitions now in use – this means that a few long-standing under 17 boys’ marks no longer qualified as the athlete in question was too old under the current age groups. This happened because before 1964 an athlete’s age group was calculated as at 1 April prior to the start of the track season not as at 31 August, and also the statisticians used a 31 December cut off until 1970. I have only included any changes that I have been able to find but it may mean that any marks for that athlete the previous season have been missed.
I have continued to use the following conversion criteria for historic marks.
Ø 100 Yards ‑ 100 Metres 100 Yards time plus 1.0 second
Ø 220 Yards ‑ 200 Metres 220 Yards time less 0.1 seconds
Ø 440 Yards/440 Yards Hurdles ‑ 400 Metres 440 Yards time less 0.3 seconds
Ø 880 Yards ‑ 800 Metres 880 Yards time less 0.7 seconds
Ø 120 Yards Hurdles ‑ 110 Metre Hurdles Same as they are the same distance
