1972 DGWS Outdoor Track and Field Championships

The 1972 DGWS Outdoor Track And Field Championships were the 4th annual Division for Girls' and Women's Sports-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 12−13, 1972 in Knoxville, Tennessee at the Tom Black Track by host University of Tennessee.
There were not separate Division I, II, and III championships for outdoor track and field until 1981. The meet would be called the DGWS Championships until 1972, after which the DGWS changed its name to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.
The meeting was highlighted by Sherry Calvert's 58.52 m throw in the javelin, at the time the best mark in the U.S. that year and among the best in the world despite the competition being hindered by rain. The Cal State East Bay Pioneers won the team title by 33 points over a field of 48 schools.
