Men's 120 yard hurdles and 110 meter hurdles
This is a list of the NCAA outdoor champions in the 120 yard hurdles until 1975, with the metric 110 meter hurdles being contested in Olympic years starting in 1932. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were at the metric distance. Hand timing was used until 1973, while starting in 1974 fully automatic timing was used. The height of the hurdles and the spacing between the two races are identical – 110 meters is 29 cm longer from the last hurdle to the finish line.
