# Track and field mark converter

> Free track and field converters: hand time to FAT, feet and inches to meters, 1600m to mile, 1500m to mile. Then see what the mark is worth.

Every converter here takes the mark you actually have and gives you the one the entry
list, the coach or the record book wants. Pick the conversion you need.

## Timing conversions

Stopwatch and photo-finish times are different scales, and meets seed on the converted number.

| Converter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [Hand Time to FAT Converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/hand-time-to-fat) | Turn a stopwatch time into its fully automatic equivalent, the way meet seeding does it, by both published conventions. |

## Wind adjustment

What a mark run with a tailwind is worth in still air, event by event.

| Converter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [Track Wind Calculator: Sprints, Hurdles, Jumps](https://trackreels.io/convert/wind-calculator) | Enter your mark and the wind reading for the 100m, 200m, hurdles, long jump or triple jump. |

## Distance and race conversions

The 1600m is not the mile and a 5K is not 3 miles; these are the seeding ratios meets actually use.

| Converter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [1600m to mile converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/1600m-to-mile) | 1600m is not a mile. |
| [Mile to 1600m converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/mile-to-1600m) | Convert a full mile into the 1600m equivalent most US high school entry lists are keyed on. |
| [3200m to 2 mile converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/3200m-to-two-mile) | The 3200m is 18. |
| [2 mile to 3200m converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/two-mile-to-3200m) | Convert a two mile into the 3200m equivalent used on US high school lists. |
| [5000m to 3 Mile Converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/5000m-to-3-mile) | A 5000m is 171. |
| [400m to 440 yards converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/400m-to-440-yards) | Comparing against an older result sheet. |
| [1500m to mile converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/1500m-to-mile) | The 1500m is the college and international metric mile, 109. |
| [Mile to 1500m converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/mile-to-1500m) | Convert a mile into the 1500m the NCAA and World Athletics actually contest. |

## Field event units

US sheets post feet and inches, college lists are metric, and the sport rounds down, not to the nearest.

| Converter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [Feet and Inches to Meters Converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/feet-inches-to-meters) | US high school meets mark jumps and throws in feet and inches; college and international lists want meters. |
| [Meters to Feet and Inches Converter](https://trackreels.io/convert/meters-to-feet-inches) | Convert a metric jump or throw into the feet and inches a US meet will post, rounded to the quarter inch the way a results sheet does. |

## Indoor track conversions

The NCAA's own factors for moving a time between flat, undersized and banked tracks.

| Converter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [Indoor Track Time Converter: Flat vs Banked](https://trackreels.io/convert/flat-track-conversion) | Convert an indoor time between flat, undersized and banked or oversized tracks using the NCAA's own published factors. |

## Why these exist

A US high school athlete is measured in one set of units and recruited in another. Meets
are hand timed and standards are written in FAT. Jumps are marked in feet and inches and
college lists are metric. The 1600m is called the mile and is not the mile. Every one of
those gaps has cost somebody a conversation with a coach, because the number they sent did
not mean what they thought it meant.

## Why a converted mark is not the same as a real one

A converted time is a seeding estimate. No governing body ratifies a record from one, and
a college coach reading your profile can tell the difference immediately. Convert to compare
yourself against a standard or an old result sheet, then race on a real timing system before
you quote the number to anyone who matters.
