The 2026 NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships are approaching, with some of the top collegiate athletes in the U.S. competing for glory from June 10-13.

The University of Oregon will host the championships at Hayward Field for the 17th time, with both men’s and women’s events being held simultaneously.

As we approach a weekend in which multiple records could be set by some of the top competitors in the world, let’s take a look at five of the most unbreakable NCAA Track and Field Championships records.

Here’s FloTrack’s list of some of the greatest achievements in NCAA history.

Christian Coleman — Men's 100m (9.82, 2017)

When Christian Coleman ran 9.82 seconds to win the 2017 NCAA 100m title, he produced one of the fastest 100-meter performances in world history. Nearly a decade later, no NCAA athlete has come close to matching it, making the record untouchable.

Michael Norman — Men's 400m (43.61, 2018)

Michael Norman's 43.61 at the 2018 NCAA Championships remains one of the greatest 400-meter races ever. With most NCAA champions struggling to break 44.5 seconds, Norman's record remains in a class of its own and appears unlikely to be broken.

Nickisha Pryce — Women's 400m (48.89, 2024)

Nickisha Pryce became the first collegiate woman to break 50 seconds at the NCAA Championships when she clocked 48.89 in 2024. The performance broke a record that had stood for more than two decades. Running sub-50-second performances are rare, meaning it could take another generational talent to beat Pryce.

Sha'Carri Richardson — Women's 100m (10.75, 2019)

As a freshman at LSU, Sha'Carri Richardson stunned the track world with a 10.75 to win the NCAA title and set a collegiate record. The performance instantly shot her into superstardom and established her as one of the fastest women on the planet and remains unmatched in NCAA history. 

Grant Holloway — Men's 110m Hurdles (12.98, 2019)

Grant Holloway became the first collegiate athlete to break the 13-second barrier in the 110-meter hurdles when he ran 12.98 at the 2019 NCAA Championships. With only a select group of athletes in history ever running faster, Holloway's record will be safe and untouched for a long time.
