UW-La Crosse, with an absolutely staggering among of entries into the meet, is a heavy favorite to win its fourth team title in program history. If the Eagles can accomplish that feat, it would be their first crown since 2015. Fourteen of UW-La Crosse’s 23 entries are ranked among the top-10 performers this season. The Eagles have multiple entries in the 100H (x3), pole vault (x2), triple jump (x2), hammer throw (x3) and heptathlon (x2).
Loras, the 2019 champion, sits second. The Duhawks bring 13 entries with them, of which nine are ranked among the top-5 performers this season.

The top-ranked Eagles ended the season with a wealth of national top-10 marks – try 15 of them, to be exact. Skye Digman gave UW-La Crosse its only two chart-toppers with her efforts in the shot put (14.11m/46-3½) and weight throw (17.95m/58-10¾). Hannah Zenkovich is the only other Eagle ranked in the top-2 nationally, as she owns the No. 2 spot in the 60H (8.69).
Loras jumped three spots from No. 5 to No. 2 based off its efforts at the DIII Elite Indoor Track & Field Championships. Kassie Rosenbum ended the season with a strong outing in the 3000 at 9:44.14, which put her No. 2 on the season-ending Descending Order List. Rosenbum was also on the now third-ranked DMR, which pairs well with the second-ranked 4×400 relay (3:55.01).
