The 1964 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 Stile Athletics Field House in Akron, Ohio, taking place April 11–12.[1] [2]
It was the last time that the men's and women's championships were held separately, with all future editions being held at the same venue and date. At the championships, Bob Hayes broke the six-second barrier in the 60 yards. Ron Clarke also broke the indoor 3 miles world record in 13:18.4.[3]
Separate from the women's 50-yard hurdles championship in April, there was a women's 50-yard hurdles exhibition race held during the men's championships that was won by Tammy Davis in 6.7 seconds.[4]
