In track and field, the top six finishers in each individual event, along with the top three relay-event finishers, are recognized as All-MIAA, while the top 20 finishers in cross country earn All-MIAA honors (11-20 are honorable mention).
Student-athletes at MIAA schools competing in sports which the conference does not sponsor a championship and meeting the academic requirements are eligible for Academic All-MIAA honors by either earning All-District/Region honors in a team sport, or by qualifying for their national championship in an individual event.
