Okay NCAA, digging in the vault for this one.
We love it

[@NCAAChampionships]

Not easy to find these, but love it when we can.

[@blainejohnson9954]

I’ve run on a old style wooden track at simplot games and it is wayyy harder to run fast on them

[@russs3001]

Me too. Remember the 'spring" in the boards and that sound? The good 'ole days.

[@blainejohnson9954]

@@russs3001 yeah the times that were run on that track would’ve easily been several seconds faster on a regular track, like I get the whole historical vibe it brings, but for a literal world class meet for high schoolers, they should do it on a decent track

[@LuisRodriguez-ru5qi]

Never imagined an indoor track would look like a circus. NCAA, please post more of these types of videos!

[@johncho8393]

I think it's a 160m track too

[@wesleytwiggs7687]

@@johncho8393 yeah it is. They start 9 meters back from the line so it’s technically a mile instead of 1600 meters.

[@wesleytwiggs7687]

[@nathanielking8070]

[@harrymonroe5981]

[@luisdelreal9061]

[@jeremypagirsky2057]

Any idea what material this track is made from?

[@27pattywhack2]

wood

[@egbduf]

Internet explorer just uploaded this

[@davesideas-yt]

Falcon like the bird of prey!

[@thegreatalyssa]

Three of the eight were from the best conference, The Southwest Conference.

[@lukeoutloud2731]

Sounds like they’re running on wood💀

[@thelongrun5077]

they are lol

[@hamsandwich1860]

I can see why they bumped this onto youtube, almost every video taken from this era is horse shit quality-wise, but this isnt. Anybody know what camera was used innthis recording, and why it wasnt broadly adopted around the world at the time?

[@andrearatkovic4048]

Going back to my day.😁. Loved watching Joe.

[@RaulNajera2067]
