The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse women's track and field team captured its second National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Indoor Championship Saturday night at the Birmingham CrossPlex. The Eagles finished with 59.5 team points to win their first indoor national championship since 2015.

It is the first national title for UWL head coach Nickolas Davis. He led the Eagles to a second-place finish at the 2021 NCAA III Outdoor Championships and to second-place national finishes at the 2022 NCAA III Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
