1925 NCAA Track and Field Championships

The event was held at Stagg Field in Chicago, Illinois in June 1925.

Stanford University won the team title, and six NCAA records were set at the two-day meet.

Stanford had previously beaten the USC team in that year's Pacific Coast championship.

One of the highlights of the 1925 NCAA meet was the performance of DeHart Hubbard, an African-American athlete from the University of Michigan.

At the 1925 NCAA meet, Hubbard broke LeGendre's record by more than four inches.

[1] The Associated Press wrote that the crowd was thrilled by DeHart's leap, which experts predicted would "Stand for All Time":"Competing under the colors of the University of Michigan for the last time, Dehart Hubbard ... today achieved the ambition of his athletic career when he smashed the world's record for the running broad jump ... Hubbard achieved his record breaking leap on his very last jump as he had reached the end of his trials.

Pulling off his sweater, the 21 year old negro flash swiftly got away to a perfect start, cleared the take-off with perfect form, and sent his body hurdling thru space kicking his legs in scissor fashion just before his feet hit the earth.

[1][2] In the shot put event, Hartranft of Stanford broke the NCAA and international collegiate record with a toss of 50 feet—one foot short of the world record.

Hoffman of Stanford also set a new record in the discus with a throw of 148 feet, 4 inches.
