The Lakers have found immense success during indoor track and field season. Since 2000, the women have claimed 26 GLIAC titles, three national championship titles and four national runner-up team titles, while the men have collected 24 conference titles, one national championship and four national runner-up titles. Individual championship titles add up to 37, with 24 claimed by GVSU's women and 13 by Laker men.
 
Grand Valley's indoor squads head into the 2025-26 season after claiming the men's National Runner-Up title and women's third place finish at the 2025 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana. The titles were accompanied by 23 podium finishes, four individual championships and two individual runner-up titles.
 
Two of the four 2025 individual champions return to defend their titles this year. Lauren Kiley will seek to claim another national title in the 3000m while high jumper Kaylee Diamond will take the floor to find another crown. 
 
One hundred and thirty-one athletes, 67 men and 64 women, will wear GVSU uniform at tomorrow's Holiday Open. Lakers will be accompanied by more than 900 athletes from schools across the country and beyond, including Charleston (W.V.), Florida Southern, and Windsor.
