Fiona Smith (Saint Benedict) won 4 individual titles across 2023–24 — the 3,000m and 5,000m in both years — the most career titles by any MIAC athlete in this championship's history. Her 2023 3,000m (banked track) time of 9:25.62 remains the all-time championship record in that event; Birgen Nelson's (Gustavus) 2023 60m hurdles time of 8.39 and Amelia Campbell's (Carleton) 2014 pentathlon score of 3,884 points are likewise the all-time championship records in their respective events.
