At its Jan. 21 meeting, the Marion Common Council opened its community-spotlight segment by recognizing the Indiana Wesleyan women's volleyball team for consecutive NAIA national championships (2023 and 2024). The mayor and council praised players and coaches for their achievements, and the team posed for photographs on the dais.
