Weight throw at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships

The weight throw has been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships annually since 1966. The women's competition began in 1996, 13 years after the start of the NCAA Division I Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships.^[1]

In 2001 and 2002, the throwing implement was found to have not met specifications, so the throws were not eligible for collegiate or NCAA meet records.^[2]
