# 1975 AIAW Outdoor Track and Field Championships

The 1975 AIAW Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 7th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 16−17, 1975 in Corvallis, Oregon by host Oregon State University. There were not separate AIAW Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981.
Oregon State's track built in 1974 was the first in the United States to use metric rather than US customary units, based on a circuit of 400 meters rather than 440 yards. For the first time AIAW championship relays were held at metric distances, but most other events still used imperial measurements.
At least 101 schools participated. The top scorer was UCLA's Julie Brown, who set meet records in the mile and 2-mile and finished runner-up in the half-mile in a feat that was described UCLA coach Chuck Debus as "the best performance by an American distance runner I have ever seen".
