    Pathe Highlights

    The 1950 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships men's competition took place between June 23–25 at Byrd Stadium on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. The women's division held their championships separately at the newly opened Hopper Field in Freeport, Texas. The decathlon was held a week later in Tulare, California, where Olympic champion Bob Mathias set his first world record on his home track.

    The Marathon championships were run in October at the Yonkers Marathon.
