* Doug MacDonald's toss is the highest ever in this event. However, it was done at the games in Waipu, New Zealand, where a sheaf lighter than 16lbs is traditionally used. Doug MacDonald was told it was a 16lb sheaf. The following year, during the world championships, a 17lb bag was used in a non-scoring event. Doug's toss is likely the world record, but because of an inconsistent history at Waipu (and lack of confirmation), there's a slight doubt.

The implement had been verified on other occasions, but was used and damaged the next
day, and weighed in light. The owner of the weight believes it met the standards before
the damage; others have expressed skepticism.
Please let me know if you have any changes or corrections to this list.
The most valuable sources in compiling these records have been Tony Dziepak's list (which wasn't fully up-to-date when I started this project, but he seems to have caught up now), and of course the old NASGA record list, which disappeared from the web some time ago, and was somewhat behind at the time, but still had the older records. On-line games results and the various message boards have been incredibly helpful. Dale Harder's book Strength is excellent. He doesn't do US, amateur, Canadian, etc. records, but does include world records and age group records. And, of course, he covers a wide range of other strength sports. Lightweight men's records are courtesy of Brian Randell and Kevin Henderson. For record lists and games results were available online but have disappeared, the Wayback Machine has been invaluable.
And of course, thanks to all the others who have contributed information.
