The 1987 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Organized by The Athletics Congress (TAC), the competition took place on February 27 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.[1] The championships in combined track and field events were held at a different date.[2][3]
The competition acted as a qualifier for the U.S. team at the 1987 World Indoor Championships in Athletics. At the meeting, East Germany's Heike Drechsler set a world indoor record in the long jump despite being restricted by a "short pit".[4]
