Season's bests
Notes
- ^ Foster was recorded at 7.36 in Los Angeles - although he was not disqualified many observers thought he had the benefit of a false start
- ^ Jackson was beaten by Mark McKoy in the Toronto race with a time of 7.41, however, although he was not disqualified many observers thought McKoy had the benefit of a false start
- ^ This performance was at the European Indoor Championships. Alozie represented Spain having recently switched allegiance from Nigeria. She was subsequently disqualified as the required transfer formalities had not been properly completed. This fact does not affect the statistical validity of the performance
