The 1978 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships were contested March 10−11, 1978 at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan at the 14th 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]
UTEP reclaimed the top spot in the team standings, finishing 6 points ahead of Auburn; it was the Miners' fourth overall team title and their fourth in five seasons.
Qualification
Unlike other NCAA-sponsored sports, there were not separate Division I, Division II, and Division III championships for indoor track and field until 1985. As such, all athletes and teams from University and College Division programs were eligible to compete.
