# Triple jump at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships

This is a list of the NCAA Division I outdoor champions in the triple jump. The event was only held in Olympic years until 1959. Measurement of the jumps was conducted in imperial distances (feet and inches) until 1975. Metrication occurred in 1976, so all subsequent championships were measured in metric distances. The women's event was introduced in 1984.
The exact wind speeds for winning jumps were not consistently recorded until 1997. However, wind-aided designations have been applied to winning jumps with over 2.0 m/s wind since at least 1964. Best wind-legal marks were not consistently recorded until 1998.
