2019 CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS HOSTED BY BETHEL UNIVERSITY WELCOME TO THE 2019 CROSSROADS LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS Dear Friends, Family and Fans, On behalf of Bethel University and their President Dr. Gregg Chenoweth, along with Athletic Director Tony Natali and his outstanding staff, we would like to officially welcome you to the 2019 Crossroads League Men’s & Women’s Cross Country Championships. We are thankful you are here! Our athletes are some of the finest in the world, and have trained hard for this very moment. To have friends, families and fans encourage them in this moment is inspiring and a tribute to the com- mitment they have made to their team, this sport and you. We hope that you will enjoy your time at the championship that is hosted by Bethel University. Bethel is one of 10 universities that make up the Crossroads League, and we encourage you to visit our website at www.crossroadsleague. com to learn more about our conference and outstanding universities. In the Crossroads League, we are not shy about sharing our love, commitment and desire to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all we do. There is a tremendous emphasis of faithful compe- tition, and we strive to glorify God with the talents HE has provided. I hope that you will join me in congratulating these outstanding men and women and their accomplishments this season. As it says in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” That is what makes our league special, as we have fought the good fight all fall, we are going to finish this race today, and we have kept HIS faith. Please join me in congratulating these out- standing athletes as they compete for the 2019 Crossroads League Cross Country Championships today! In His service, Larry DeSimpelare Commissioner TAYLOR - 2018 CHAMPIONS WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY 1991 - Huntington 2001 - Indiana Wesleyan 2011 - Indiana Wesleyan 1992 - Goshen 2002 - Indiana Wesleyan 2012 - Huntington 1993 - Huntington 2003 - Indiana Wesleyan 2013 - Taylor 1994 - Marian 2004 - Indiana Wesleyan 2014 - Taylor 1995 - Taylor 2005 - Indiana Wesleyan 2015 - Taylor 1996 - Taylor 2006 - Spring Arbor 2016 - Taylor 1997 - Huntington 2007 - Indiana Wesleyan 2017 - Taylor 1998 - Indiana Wesleyan 2008 - Indiana Wesleyan 2018 - Taylor 1999 - Indiana Wesleyan 2009 - Spring Arbor 2000 - Indiana Wesleyan 2010 - Indiana Wesleyan IWU - 2018 CHAMPIONS MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY 1972 - Tri-State 1994 - Taylor 2016 - Marian 1973 - Indiana Wesleyan 1995 - Taylor 2017 - Indiana Wesleyan 1974 - Tri-State 1996 - Taylor 2018 - Indiana Wesleyan 1975 - Tri-State 1997 - Taylor 1976 - Tri-State 1998 - Taylor 1977 - Tri-State 1999 - Taylor 1978 - Tri-State 2000 - Indiana Wesleyan 1979 - Tri-State 2001 - Indiana Wesleyan 1980 - Goshen 2002 - Grace 1981 - Indiana Wesleyan 2003 - Huntington 1982 - Indiana Wesleyan 2004 - Spring Arbor 1983 - Indiana Wesleyan 2005 - Indiana Wesleyan 1984 - Indiana Wesleyan 2006 - Indiana Wesleyan 1985 - Indiana Wesleyan 2007 - Indiana Wesleyan 1986 - Indiana Wesleyan 2008 - Indiana Wesleyan 1987 - Huntington 2009 - Marian 1988 - Huntington 2010 - Indiana Wesleyan 1989 - Indiana Wesleyan 2011 - Huntington 1990 - Indiana Wesleyan 2012 - Indiana Wesleyan 1991 - Indiana Wesleyan 2013 - Indiana Wesleyan 1992 - Indiana Wesleyan 2014 - Indiana Wesleyan 1993 - Indiana Wesleyan 2015 - Indiana Wesleyan BETHEL PILOTS NAME YR.
