Dates	May 16–17, 1975

← 1974 1976 →

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.^[2] For the first time AIAW championship relays were held at metric distances, but most other events still used imperial measurements.^[1]

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".^[3]
