The 1980 AIAW Indoor Track And Field Championships were the first official Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of women's collegiate indoor track and field events in the United States.
They were contested March 7−8, 1980 in Columbia, Missouri at the Hearnes Multipurpose Building and won by the UTEP Miners track and field team.
Unlike other AIAW-sponsored sports, there were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for indoor track and field.
[3][4] The 600 m heats were actually held over a shorter distance of 564 meters due to mis-measuring the start and end points, making the times ineligible for records, though the finals were held over the correct distance.
