Prairie FireCatch the spirit of competition in NCAA Division III's Midwest Conference, where Knox's 21 teams compete with a passion and intensity that make Prairie Fire the only appropriate name for them.

Yes, academics come first here, but our student-athletes also play to win -- striving for just as much success on the fields, courts, tracks, courses, and mats as they do in the classroom -- and our campus features some of the best athletic facilities in Division III.
