Mile run at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships explained

The mile run and its metric 1500 metres equivalent have been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships since its founding in 1965. 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 -mile track that the races were run on was per lap short, making the actual race distance less than one mile those years.[1] [2]
