The 1932 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 edition was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, and it took place February 22. The women's meet was held separately at the Newark Armory in Newark, New Jersey, taking place March 12.[1] [2]
At the men's championships, three world records were broken. Gene Venzke's mile win was described as a "walk-over", with only two rivals challenging him instead of the originally expected ten. Unlike in previous championships, the standing high jump was dropped from the program.[3] [4] [5]
