Taylor Cross Country Collects 10 All-Crossroads League Awards

JACKSON, Mich. – The Taylor men's and women's cross-country teams competed in the CL Championships on Friday and had ten athletes earn All-CL Honors in a dynamic display.

As part of the yearly awards, head coach Quinn White was also named the Crossroads League Women's Coach of the Year for the 13th time in 16 seasons.

White guided the women to the CL title for the 13th consecutive year, and the Trojans are undefeated against NAIA teams in the 2025 campaign. The Trojans ran the second fastest 6k time in program history and cruised to the CL Championships with 25 points.   

Seven Trojan women finished in the top 13 to match the program record with seven All-CL performers on the women's side. The men ran to a second-place finish and secured three All-CL selections.

The top 15 runners in each race were awarded all-league honors.
