Athletically, they must have (1) finished the indoor season among the top 50 individuals as listed on the descending order lists on TFRRS and/or have qualified for the indoor or outdoor NCAA Championships meets, or (2) competed as a member of one of the top 35 relay teams as listed on the indoor descending order list on TFRRS and/or participated in the relay at the indoor or outdoor NCAA Championships meets. Finally, any competing relay team member on an expanded descending order list to include 35 institutions (one relay team per institution) is eligible.

All-Academic Teams, meanwhile, must have a cumulative team GPA of at least 3.1 on a 4.0 scale through the most recent semester/quarter for all student-athletes who used a season of eligibility. Wittenberg ended the season with a teamwide cumulative GPA of 3.37.

Frazier, a biology major, is coming off a spectacular season that saw her earn the North Coast Athletic Conference Scholar-Athlete Award and be named to the NCAC 40th Anniversary Women's Outdoor Track and Field All-Decade Team. She qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships in the 400 meters in both the indoor and outdoor seasons and was a USTFCCCA Second Team All-American in the indoor 400.

Frazier earned five USTFCCCA All-Great Lakes Region accolades, doing so in the 60, 400 and 4x400 relay indoors and the 400 and 4x100 relay outdoors. She was named NCAC Indoor Sprinter/Hurdler of the Year and was a four-time NCAC champion (indoor 60, 200 and 4x400 relay and outdoor 4x100 relay) while also earning All-NCAC recognition in outdoor 100 and 200. A three-time NCAC Athlete of the Week this season, Frazier broke the school record in the outdoor 400 with a time of 55.82 seconds.

She closed the indoor season ranked 16th nationally in the 400 meters, tied for 30th in the 60 and tied for 42nd in the 200. Outdoors, she ranked 20th nationally in the 400 and 48th in the 4x100 relay.

Hix, an exercise science major, is coming off a record-breaking year that saw her sweep the NCAC championships in the pole vault during the indoor and outdoor seasons and earn an All-NCAC accolade in the outdoor triple jump. The two-time NCAC Athlete of the Week honoree earned USTFCCCA All-Region recognition in the outdoor triple jump and broke school records in the outdoor pole vault (3.60 meters) and outdoor triple jump (11.59 meters).

She closed the year tied for 41st nationally in the indoor pole vault and ranked 41st in the triple jump and tied for 43rd in the pole vault during the outdoor season.

Under head coach Paris Hilliard, the Wittenberg women's track and field team swept the NCAC titles in the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2024 and had three national qualifiers during each season. The Tigers finished the year with a combined 18 All-Region accolades among 11 student-athletes in the indoor and outdoor seasons along with conference titles in six individual events and two relays.
