Totals

- "Currently held" denotes records currently held by the male athlete. All "currently held" records are as of May 1st, 2025.

- "Reset by same athlete" denotes records the athlete has set and reset multiple times, breaking his own record. These entries mark each instance the record was broken by the athlete.

- "No longer held" denotes records the athlete had held at one time, but have since been broken and are now held by a different athlete.

- "Removed" denotes records that were held by the athlete but have since been removed due to rule changes or disputes regarding the male's participation and legitimacy of the record.

- "Unofficial" denotes records that were broken but not officially ratified.

- Due to the difficulty of obtaining high school records, some of the high school records have been taken from athletic.net. The school performance lists from athletic.net may be incomplete and as such, the high school records found here may not be official.

- If an athlete has broken a higher record, it can be inferred they also hold a lesser record. (For example, an athlete with a world record would also have the national record. An athlete with the state record would have the school record.)

- "Amateur" refers all senior records, "senior" referring to open age category.

- Several entries here refer to an athlete's standing on the all-time list. Though not official records, these are notable in regards to male performance compared to female. They are not included in the total record counts.

- Due to the difficulty of obtaining records in team sports, many of these may have been missed. This list of records is not comprehensive, but reflects the minimum number of female athletes who have been stripped of a record due to the participation of a male. These records do not reflect exceptional or all-time best female performancs, but average, unremarkable male performances.
