The 1975 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the competition took place on February 28 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.[1]
At the championships, Dwight Stones was expected to try for the world record in the high jump.[2] [3] The championships served as a selection event for a dual meet against the Soviet Union athletics team soon after in Richmond, Virginia. It was highlighted by foreign guests including Miruts Yifter.[4]
The 1975 women's championships marked the first time that the two miles event was added, and the first time that any event over 1 mile was contested.[5]
