Williams also qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2023, posting a 15th-place finish in the high jump.

In addition to her All-Conference accolade in the outdoor high jump this season, Weiss was an All-NCAC and All-Region performer in the indoor high jump and earned one NCAC Athlete of the Week honor.

Williams swept the indoor and outdoor conference titles in the high jump, was once selected as NCAC Athlete of the Week and was named All-Region in the indoor high jump.

Named Wittenberg's 2024 NCAC women's Scholar-Athlete Award winner and a member of the NCAC 40th Anniversary All-Decade Women's Outdoor Track and Field Team, Frazier owns a lengthy list of accolades this season. During the indoor season, she was named NCAC Sprinter/Hurdler of the Year, won conference titles in the 60, 200 and 4x400 relay and was USTFCCCA All-Region in the 60, 400 and 4x400 relay. Her success continued throughout the outdoor season, as she was part of the NCAC champion 4x100 relay team and added All-NCAC honors in the 100 and 200. She has also earned three NCAC Athlete of the Week honors throughout the indoor and outdoor seasons.

The Wittenberg women's track and field team won conference championships in both the indoor and outdoor seasons this year under head coach Paris Hilliard.
