Crossroads League Release | TU Honors Page
UPLAND, Ind. – The Crossroads League announced its 2026 competitive cheer all-league honors on Monday, with Taylor matching a program record with 11 awards and securing the Crossroads League Athlete and Newcomer-of-the-Year recognitions.
Kenzie Buck led the way once again, following her historic CL Newcomer-of-the-Year honor from last season by becoming the first CL Athlete of the Year in the six-year history of the Taylor cheer program.
Kahlie Gannon also took home a top honor, becoming TU's second-straight athlete to be named the CL Newcomer of the Year.
Buck and Gannon were also selected as First-Team All-Crossroads League performers and were joined on the list by David Musser, Isabel Knoll and Kristian Stanton, as Taylor claimed five-of-12 spots on the CL First-Team.
The honors continued for Taylor with Ryan Kalopisis and Joslyn Brown taking home Second-Team All-Crossroads League recognition, and with Caleb Motsinger and Natalie Holt being named as Honorable Mention All-CL performers.
The All-CL honors for Musser and Kalopisis marked a third-straight year with all-league recognition for the duo, with Buck and Knoll earning postseason honors for a second time and the group of Gannon, Stanton, Brown, Motsinger and Holt collecting their first awards.
That group helped Taylor secure its first-ever Crossroads League Championship on March 6 and 7 and will lead the Trojans at the program's first-ever NAIA National Championships on March 27 and 28.
