Chasing History: Top 25 Boys Sprint Times from NB Nationals

Now in the NSAF's 25th season hosting a national meet, New Balance Nationals have been the place to go for elite athletes for over two decades. In honor of the 25th annual outdoor national championship this weekend we have compiled the 25 best performance in each event. The times have been so fast over the past 24 years that greats such as Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay didn't even make the top 50 in meet history.

(Note: The meet name changes over the years based on sponsors)
