3000 meters at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships explained

The 3000 meters and its imperial two miles equivalent have been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships since its founding in 1965. The imperial distance was contested until 1983, while the metric distance has been run since 1984. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used.
