The 1954 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 20. The women's meet was held at the 2nd Engineers Armory on March 27.[1] [2]
Three world records were set at the men's championships. Federal Bureau of Investigation employee Horace Ashenfelter won the men's 3 miles. Though his 3-mile time was not a record, his 4000 m split of 11:27.4 broke Paavo Nurmi's 1925 record at that distance. About 12,000 spectators attended the men's edition.[3] [4] [5] [6]
