WORLD RECORDS AT THE US OLYMPIC TRIALS The following marks are world records set at the US Final Olympic Trials. Performances in bold type were ratified IAAF records, while other marks were statistically acceptable but not ratified - either because they were not put forward (as in the case of auto-times prior to 1976 which were not acceptable as IAAF records) or were not accepted for one reason or another. Efforts with the suffix = were equal to the then accepted record. In all 57 records have been set, of which 31 were ratified. 100m 10.64 Ralph Metcalfe Stanford 16 Jul 32 10.2= (10.34)Norwood "Barney" Ewell Evanston 9 Jul 48 10.2= Ira Murchison Los Angeles 29 Jun 56 10.2= W.
