Crossroads League Release | TU Honors Page

JACKSON, Mich. – Kiana Siefert began the outdoor track and field season in strong fashion at the IWU Polar Bear Classic and was named the Crossroads League Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week on Monday afternoon.

The senior has now been named the CL Track or Field Athlete of the Week four times throughout her collegiate career at Taylor. Siefert competed in three events in which she either won or finished runner up in an impressive display to start the outdoor season. Siefert finished second in the 100-meter hurdles with a blazing time of 14.42 seconds, just two tenths behind her career best mark.

Siefert then anchored the 4x100-meter relay team, which finished first and nearly broke the program record with a time of 47.73, less than a second behind Taylor's best ever mark. The Noblesville native capped her impressive performance on the field with a leap of 18 feet 10.75 inches in the long jump to top a field of 21 athletes.

Siefert joined Taylor golf athletes Shayne Lim and Aaron Fulda in being recognized by the Crossroads League on Monday, bringing Taylor's number of weekly honors for the 2025-2026 year to 53.

Taylor track and field compete next on Friday, March 27th, at the Marion Knight Open in Indianapolis, Indiana.
