Kansas topped the team standings, finishing one point ahead of USC. It was the Jayhawks' first title in program history.

Qualification

Unlike other NCAA-sponsored sports, there were not separate University Division and College Division championships for indoor track and field until 1985. As such, all athletes and teams from University and College Division programs were eligible to compete.
