They were contested May 8−9, 1969 in San Marcos, Texas at Southwest Texas State College and won by the Texas Woman's Pioneers track and field team.

There were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981. The meet would be called the DGWS Championships until 1972, when the DGWS changed its name to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

The meeting was criticized for failing to advertise to interested teams, as only 15 schools participated and no schools from California were included. Additionally, a controversial rule was implemented that excluded 'club' athletes although exceptions were made.^[1][2]
