At the championships, Dwight Stones was expected to try for the 7 ft 6 in (2.28 m) world record in the high jump.[2][3] The championships served as a selection event for a dual meet against the Soviet Union athletics team soon after in Richmond, Virginia. It was highlighted by foreign guests including Miruts Yifter.[4]

The 1975 women's championships marked the first time that the two miles event was added, and the first time that any event over 1 mile was contested.[5]
