The 1973 AIAW Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 5th annual Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate track and field events in the United States. They were contested May 11âÂÂ12, 1973 in Hayward, California at the Pioneer Stadium by host California State University, East Bay.
There were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981. Prior to the 1973 meet, the competition was called the Division for Girls' and Women's Sports (DGWS) championships.
The meeting was highlighted by Lynette Matthews, who was the meet's only double winner in the shot put and discus. The Texas Woman's Pioneers won the team competition for the 3rd time.
