The 1988 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Organized by The Athletics Congress (TAC), the competition took place on February 26 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States. [1]
At the meeting, Gwen Torrence barely extended her undefeated streak to 40 races. Though she initially thought she won the 55 metres, after the competition ended it was announced her race with Evelyn Ashford was actually a dead heat. [2]
There was also an anti-South African apartheid rally held outside the venue. The rally was held by six organizations in opposition to Mobil's title sponsorship of the event. [2]
