The 100-yard dash is a track and field sprint event of 100 yards (91.44 metres). It was part of the Commonwealth Games until 1970 , and was included in the triathlon of the Olympics in 1904 . It is not generally used in international events, replaced by the 100-metre sprint (109.36 yards).
For example, in 1980, high schools converted their running distances from Imperial (yards) to metric, but instead of running conventional international distances like 1500 metres in place of the mile run, a more equitable but non-standard 1600 meters was chosen. For the two-mile run, they run 3200 meters.
This is the complete list of Commonwealth Games medallists in men's athletics from 1930 to 2022. In 1970, most track events converted from races measured in yards to near-equivalents measured in metres.

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 ...
