national records
Domestic athletic benchmarks
National records are the best performances ever achieved by citizens of a particular country in a given sport or athletic event.
Track and field, swimming, and weightlifting maintain national records across dozens of events: She broke the national record in the 100-meter dash.
The term also refers to official documents held by a government—archives, census data, legal filings: The National Records of Scotland houses centuries of historical documents.
