JACKSON, Mich. – The No. 4 Taylor women's cross country squad (86-4) claimed its 11th-consecutive Crossroads Title on November 3 and had a quartet of runners earn All-Crossroads League Honors.

In addition to four All-League members, Head Coach Quinn White was named the Women's Cross Country Crossroads League Coach of the Year for the 11th time in 14 seasons. 

The top fifteen runners in the Crossroads League Championship earn All-League recognition, of which all four of Taylor's 2023 crop of All-League runners have achieved multiple times. 

Seniors Mollie Gamble and Ahna Neideck received All-Crossroads League honors for a third straight season in 2023. Gamble led the Trojans with a second-place finish with a mark of 21:56.2, while Neideck crossed the finish line in 22:32.5 for sixth place. 

A tandem of TU athletes finished fourth and fifth in stride, with Audrey Brinkruff and Noel VanderWall both earning their second All-Crossroads League honor. VanderWall finished a tick faster at 22:23.0, while Brinkruff's time was 22:23.1.  

The four All-Crossroads League members and their teammates will now turn their focus to the NAIA National Championships set to commence on Friday, November 17, in Vancouver, Washington.
