NAIA Release

UPLAND, Ind. – The Trojans rose two spots to No. 10, their highest ranking of the season, in the final NAIA Top-25 Poll after placing second in the Crossroads League Championships.

In a loaded field of six squads ranked or receiving votes, TU easily claimed second, with only No. 1 Indiana Wesleyan finishing ahead.

Ryan Hanak continued his late-season surge by pacing the Trojans once again and coming in seventh. Nathan Burns was right on his tail in eighth, while Luke Harber finished 15th. All three nabbed All-Crossroads League honors, with Taylor and Indiana Wesleyan the only schools to have more than two All-League runners.

No. 10 Taylor (71-25) will now prepare for the NAIA Championships, on Friday, November 17, in Vancouver, Washington.
