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]
