The 1972 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships were contested March 10−11, 1972 at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan at the eighth annual NCAA-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate indoor track and field events in the United States.[1]

USC topped the team standings, the Trojans' second indoor team title.

Qualification[edit]

Unlike other NCAA-sponsored sports, there were not separate University Division and College Division championships for indoor track and field until 1985. As such, all athletes and teams from University and College Division programs were eligible to compete.
