# 1934 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships

The 1934 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Marquette Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and it took place 29–30 June. The women's meet was originally scheduled to be held in San Francisco, but the organizers withdrew due to financial reasons, making the 1934 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships the only women's track and field national championships that year.
The men's championships were described as the greatest AAU championships ever, both at the time by Milwaukee media and in retrospect by Track & Field News. In the 1500 m, both Bill Bonthron and Glenn Cunningham broke the world record. Jack Torrance also set the shot put world record and Glenn Hardin broke the 400 m hurdles record. About 17,000 spectators attended.
