Marks converted from yards to meters using USA Track and Field accepted conversion standards.

The hammer is not an official WIAA event. However, the hammer is thrown at a separate state championship meet in Washington State.  

Records count if they are set before an athlete starts their freshman year in college. For example, if the athlete breaks a record the summer directly following high school graduation in June, the record counts.

Thurston County Records were compiled for the first time by Larry Weber in 2020. 

Check out the Thurston County Girls Track and Field Records.

All records are as of January 2024.
