The Middlebury women's track and field team saw five Panthers secure All-American recognition, as announced by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The honors are based on their finishes at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Alabama. Emily Rubio garnered a second-team selection in the pentathlon, while the distance medley relay (DMR) quartet of Annelise Jensen, Lily Bulczynski, Naomi Atwood and Claire Palmer also landed on the second team.
