From the 1980s to the 2020s, the Illinois High School Association track record book was filled with nearly half a century of performances.

This is the national record for boys and girls in track and field in Illinois, entering the 2025 final in Charleston, Illinois in late May. The complete record book can be found on ihsa.org.

Records are separated by events, boys and girls perform, athletes, school and record dates.
