Marian University's track and field teams swept the NAIA Indoor Championships, becoming the first woman to lead both a men's and women's team to a national title sweep at any collegiate level. Coach Katie Wise-Butler led the team to victories in the 4x800-meter relay, the mile, and the distance medley relay. Tristan Trevino was a triple winner, including a triple win in the relay, and Katie Woods was named the meet's most valuable performer after winning the 1,000 meters and placing second in the mile. This sweep was the first since Indiana Tech did so in 2017. The NAIA championships were Marian’s eighth and ninth and final.
