It's been a busy indoor Season, and the records have been under threat since Day 1. However, some have been more so than others.
Starting with our youngest athletes, we are now looking at the Final Season bests by Juniors this year, and graded how close they were to breaking the Junior State Record.
It was the year of the 55m in 2026, with multiple new threats to the All-Time top ten. Chief among them was Noah Collins-Howard, who had a big personal best to grab silver at the New York State Meet. It was there that he tied the Junior State Record, making him the only record breaker for his Class this year.
