The Wayland women's basketball team has also distinguished itself in the following ways: The Flying Queens are the only team in collegiate basketball history (men or women) to record a 131-game consecutive winning streak (1953–1958). In 2013, the 1953–58 teams were honored as "Trailblazers of the Game" by the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame for the 131 game-winning streak. The team is featured in a documentary entitled Flying Queens: A Basketball Dynasty, directed by Kellie Mitchell and produced by Aperture Art Productions. From the 1948–1949 season through 2017–2018 season the Flying Queens posted 1622 wins against 562 losses for a winning percentage of .743. In this 69-year period, the Wayland Team averaged 23 wins per season. The Wayland Team has won 19 National Championships. The Flying Queens' program has had eight individuals inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee. Members of the Wayland Hutcherson Flying Queens have received 212 All-American Awards from various organizations, excluding NAIA Scholar Athletes and a COSIDA Academic Award.

Wayland administrators had presented the idea to them because of Wayland's strong desire to have a national tournament limited to college teams. The NWIT was one of the first two national basketball tournaments for college women, coincidentally starting one day apart: the Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women tournament held in West Chester, PA, March 20–24, 1969, and the NWIT in Amarillo, Texas, March 21–24, 1969. Wayland competed in the NWIT for 9 years (1969–1977), winning 9 consecutive NWIT National Championships and receiving 23 NWIT All-American Awards.
