The 1995 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships was organised by USA Track & Field and held from June 20 to 24 at Hornet Stadium, on the campus of California State University, Sacramento in Sacramento, California. The four-day competition served as the national championships in track and field for the United States and also the trials for the 1995 World Championships in Athletics in Gothenburg, Sweden.
It was the first time that the new facilities in Sacramento. The city of Sacramento had hosted the event twice previously at Charles C. Hughes Stadium across town at Sacramento City College in 1981 and the men's division in 1968 made famous by the "Night of Speed." This meet also served as a demonstration before Sacramento won the bid to host the 2000 United States Olympic Trials in this facility. The USA Junior Championships were held in conjunction with the event.
Athletes that finished in the top three of their event and held the IAAF qualifying standard were eligible to represent the United States at the 1995 World Championships. The United States was able to send three athletes per event to the competition, provided they all met the A qualification standard. The World Championships national selection for the marathon and 50 kilometres walk were incorporated into the discrete national championship meets for those events. Selection for the relay races were made by committee.
Eight Americans went on to win an individual gold medal at the 1995 World Championships; Michael Johnson won both the 200 meters and 400 meters, Allen Johnson, Derrick Adkins, John Godina, Dan O'Brien, Gwen Torrence Gail Devers and Kim Batten. In addition USA won three of the four relay events, but more significant was the failure of the Mens 4x100 relay team to get out of the heats. In the previous four World Championships USA had been undefeated and had won the Olympics 14 times; since this failure, USA has only won three times in ten attempts at the World Championships and once in the Olympics.

World Championships qualification[edit]
Automatic byes[edit]
A total of eight American athletes received automatic byes into the 1997 World Championships in Athletics as a result of their being the defending champions from the 1995 World Championships in Athletics.[2] Michael Johnson qualified in two events and his injury situation largely created the bye rule in the first place. Johnson chose not to defend the 200 metres title, but was able to successfully defend his 400 metres title, a feat equalled by Allen Johnson and John Godina in their respective events. Dan O'Brien also did not defend his title.

- Michael Johnson Men's 400 metres

Non-top three selections[edit]
Karl Paranya did not participate in the 1500m. Pascal Dobert did not participate in the steeplechase. Dan Middleman and 7th place Brad Barquist were the American representatives in the 10,000. Since Allen Johnson and Bryan Bronson received a bye, 4th place Mark Crear and Octavius Terry were allowed to compete in their respective hurdle races. LaMark Carter and no other American achieved the A standard in the triple jump. Breaux Greer didn't achieve the A standard. 4th place, naturalized British Olympian Roald Bradstock did and took the third position at the World Championships.
