# 1979 AIAW Outdoor Track and Field Championships

The 1979 AIAW Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 11th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate outdoor track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 23−26, 1979 in East Lansing, Michigan by host Michigan State University. There were not separate AIAW Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981.
The meet was marked by very windy and rainy weather. Nonetheless, on the final day of competition Louise Ritter broke her own American record in the high jump by clearing 6 ft 31⁄2 in (1.91 m). The Cal State Northridge Matadors won the team competition, separating themselves from the other teams about three fourths of the way through the competition.
