The 1925 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.
The men's championships were held at the Jefferson County Armory in Louisville, Kentucky, and they took place February 28. Women's championships were not officially held until 1927.[1] [2]
At the championships, Cecil Coaffee broke the world record for 60 yards in the first semifinal, running 6 seconds. The men's 2 miles steeplechase was added for the first time. It was also the first time that the pole vault for height was contested (pole vault for distance was staged previously at the championships).[3] [4] [5]
