NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The final day of the 2022 Crossroads League Track & Field Championships was even colder and featured way more rain. On the women's side IWU stayed strong finishing in second place, while the men slid back to sixth place.


SNYDER PERSPECTIVE

• The conditions were some of the worst we've had for a league championship meet which made for a very challenging weekend. With this being the last meet of the year for a large portion of the team, we hoped to finish well and see more progression than the teams around us. The women's team really stepped up and fought hard for a 2nd place finish. On the men's side, with the exception of a few bright spots, we struggled and couldn't really get any momentum going. 
• Overall, I'm really proud of this team. It's been a fun year and I've seen so much growth in many of the athletes' lives. As we get into the last couple weeks before nationals, we need to figure a few things out, but I'm certain they'll be able to piece it together.
