The only way to keep from drifting while holding the wings level is to crab into the wind. Pattern flying consists in part of making the plane look like it's doing something different than what it's really doing. Crabbing just a little bit, so it doesn't much show from the ground. Slipping just a little bit, so it doesn't show from the ground. If you hold rudder in a crosswind, or not in a crosswind for that matter, the plane will yaw, and keep yawing. Let's take a concrete illustration. Your runway is east-west, and a wind is blowing from the north. You want to make the plane look like it is flying straight east or west, with the fuselage lined up straight east or west and the wings level. It is not possible for any airplane to do that. So you come as close as you can to making it look that way. With practice you can do this well. But I am absolutely sure that you can't do it by applying rudder, holding it, and keeping the wings level. Because doing that with the rudder will make the plane yaw, and keep yawing.

Congratulations on your trophies. No number of trophies changes the laws of physics.
