Non-U field event records (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discs

'records' is the definition.
(I know this)

'non-u field event' is the wordplay.
'non' suggests deleting specific letters.
'field event' becomes 'discus' (discus is a kind of field event).
'discus' with 'u' taken out is 'DISCS'.

(Other definitions for discs that I've seen before include "Records" , "Flat, circular plates" , "Layers of cartilage between vertebrae - they may slip" , "They're round and flat" , "Type of recordings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
