Crossroads League Announces Men’s Indoor Track Award Winners

JACKSON, Mich. – The Crossroads League announced its 2024 Men’s Indoor Track and Field All-League Team and Coach-of-the-Year honors on Tuesday, just days after Marian claimed its fifth-straight team championship in record-setting fashion.

The Knights posted 22 All-Crossroads League performances from 14 different events and claimed victory in seven of the 20 events at the meet to pile up 253.5 points. Olivier Lifrange was once again one of MU’s top performers, winning the 400 and 4×400-meter relay, and adding a runner-up finish in the 200. Marian’s Michael Holman was also once again named the Crossroads League Coach of the Year.

The All-Crossroads League honors are awarded to any individual or relay that finished among the top-three in an event. The Crossroads League Coach-of-the-Year honor is voted on by the 10 league head coaches.
