The men's edition was held at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, and it took place 3â4 July. The women's meet was held separately at Ohio Field in The Bronx, New York, on 14 September.

At the men's championships, times were run in the 100 m and 110 m hurdles that were faster than the then-world records, but tailwinds were too strong for the marks to count.^[1] It was the first time the women's competition was held in New York City, which was marked by the national debut of Helen Stephens.^[2]
