Individuals placing first through third in their respective events at the NWC meet, plus first-place relay team members, are accorded first team all-NWC awards. Fourth- through eighth-place individuals, together with second- and third-place relay race members, receive all-NWC second team designations.

Second team honors went to Linfield athletes Haley Bland in the javelin, Natasha Freimuth in the 400-meter hurdles, Grutsch in the triple jump and hepathlon, Mada Lee and Anna Niyongabire in the triple jump. Also receiving second team awards from Linfield are Analissa Paresa in the pole vault, Jordan Roberts in the 100 hurdles, Jayden Taylor in the 3,000 steeplechase, Baylie Thompson in the long jump, and Mia Thompson and Eboni Zehner in the javelin.
 
For the Linfield men, sprinter Liam Christensen garnered first team all-NWC recognition for his third-place finish in the 100-meter dash.
 
Second team all-NWC honors on the men's side have been presented to James Bethune in the triple jump, Christensen in the 200, Hudson Holzhauer in the hammer, Kris Jakstas in the high jump, Tyson Morris in the pole vault and Kiyan Vrell in the javelin.
