Boys 50m Dash Record
Korey Morton running a 55m dash at the CIAC Class LL Indoor Championships.
Current Record: 5.69
Year Record Was Set: 1994
Why: Canyon Springs (CA) Bryan Howard set the record back in 1994. That makes this record 24 years old and the third-oldest indoor national record. Howard also holds the second-fastest mark all-time in the boys 50m dash with his 5.74 from that same year. According to the 50m all-time list, the last person to come close to his mark was Shane Crawford of Winamac Community (IN) High School. Crawford ran a 5.79 in 2007. The current U.S. No. 1 in this event is 6.14, held by Brien McMahon (CT) High School's Korey Morton. Hardly anyone runs the 50m dash anymore--most high school indoor competition is limited to 55m and 60m, which means this record should be safe.
