MARION, Ind. – Taylor logged a program-best score for a fifth and sixth-straight time in as many performances this season to finish third place at the 2023 Crossroads League Championships on Saturday at Indiana Wesleyan.
The Trojans surpassed the 85.00-point plateau for the first time ever, posting a mark of 86.12 in the finals after scoring an 84.72 in the prelims. Taylor's combined final score of 85.77 trailed only Indiana Wesleyan and Marian in the team standings.
