Crossroads League Release | TU Honors Page

KANSAS CITY – For the first time in Taylor women's cross country program history, three Trojans earned NAIA All-American honors in the same year, as Abbey Brennan, Giovanna Domene and Ahna VanderWall earned the recognition for finishing within the top-40 at the NAIA Cross Country National Championships in Vancouver, Washington on November 19.

This is the first time any of these three women have received NAIA Cross Country All-American honors.

In her first ever NAIA National Cross Country race, Abbey Brennan finished sixth place overall with a time of 18:32.7. The senior from Fort Wayne, Indiana put together a stellar final season with the Trojans, claiming top-10 finishes in five-of-six meets. Brennan posted a career-best time of 17:54.8 at the Great Lakes Challenge, claiming the fourth-fastest 5k time in Taylor history. The senior led the Trojans in four meets and posted four sub-18:40 races.

Giovanna Domene raced to 22nd place in Vancouver, claiming her best-ever finish at nationals. Domene recorded a time of 18:46.8, the second-fastest time of her career. The senior from Valinhos, Brazil wrapped up her outstanding 2021 campaign with three sub-19:00 races and five top-30 finishes. She set a lifetime-best mark of 18:21.7 at the Great Lakes Challenge, claiming the 12th-fastest time in TU history.

Sophomore Ahna VanderWall finished 37th overall and posted a time of 18:58.3 to claim the All-American award. VanderWall ended her standout sophomore season finishing in the top-15 and recording sub-19:00 for four races. The Petoskey, Michigan runner clinched the seventh-best time in Trojan history after recording a career-best time of 18:08.6 at the Great Lakes Challenge.

Brennan's, Domene's and VanderWall's All-American honors combine with Sarah Harden (2020, 2019, 2018, 2017), Livy Schroder (2020, 2019), Alex Berends (2018, 2014) and Lolly York (2005, 2006) for a total of 13 NAIA All-American awards in program history.
