For the first time, the NCAA hosted a separate championship just for indoor track and field events. The original outdoor meet had previously been held annually since 1921. Unlike the outdoor championship, which was hosted later in the year during the spring, the indoor title was contested during the winter sports season.
The inaugural indoor meet was hosted at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan.[2]
Missouri finished on top of the team standings and claimed the national title.
