The 1965 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the competition took place on February 19–20 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.[1]
It was the first time ever that the men's and women's championships were held jointly at the same venue and date—for all years previously, they were held separately. At the championships, Norma Harris and Janell Smith both ran the American record in the women's 440 yards, with the race being declared a dead heat and tie for the win.[2]
