FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech men's and women's track teams hosted the 2024-25 indoor WHAC Championships on Friday and Saturday at the Doug Edgar Indoor Track Facility at Warrior Park. The men would run away with the title (242 points) defeating second place Madonna (136 points) by nearly a hundred points, making it a 13th straight indoor WHAC Championship for the Warriors. The Tech women had won the previous five indoor titles coming into the weekend, but saw their streak snapped this year as they would finish in third this season (137.5 points) behind first time WHAC champion Madonna (184 points) and runner up Cornerstone (138 points).
