The 1936 NCAA Track and Field Championships was the 15th NCAA track and field championship. The event was held at Stagg Field in Chicago, Illinois in June 1936. The University of Southern California won the team championship. [1] Athletes from 32 universities and colleges participated in the event. [1]
For the second consecutive year, Ohio State's Jesse Owens won championships in four individual events—the 100-meter sprint, the 200-meter sprint, the 220-yard low hurdles and the broad jump (now called the long jump). Owens accounted for more than half of Ohio State's points (40 of 73) in the team scoring. Owens also set a new world record in the 100-meter sprint at the meet. [1]
California's Archie Williams set a world record (46.1) in the 400-meter heats; he won the final in 47.0. [2] USC's Kenneth Carpenter won the discus throw with a toss of 173 feet (52.72 m), which was a new American record and surpassed Harald Andersson's official world record by more than a foot; [3] however, it was inferior to new records by Andersson and Willy Schröder that were still pending official ratification. [4] Javelin thrower Alton Terry of Hardin-Simmons also broke the American record in his specialty. [3]
