• Source: 1940 NCAA track and field championships

      • The 1940 NCAA Track and Field Championships was the 19th NCAA track and field championship. The event was held at the University of Minnesota's Memorial Stadium in June 1940. The University of Southern California won its sixth consecutive team title.
      The meet took place during a two-day downpour that flooded the stadium and forced the field events to be moved indoors at the Minnesota field house.
