International athletics championship event
The 1941 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it took place 24–25 June. The women's meet was held separately at Carey Stadium in Ocean City, New Jersey, on 5 July.
They were the last championships before World War II. At the men's championships, Grover Klemmer broke the 400 m world record and Fred Wolcott tied the 110 m hurdles world record. At the women's competition, the schedule had to be changed due to poor weather, and Jean Lane surprised Stella Walsh to win the 100 m.
