Milwaukee Athletics

Taylor (2010-2013) was one of the best athletes that the Milwaukee women's track & field team ever had in jumping events, earning individual titles on five total occasions in the triple jump as well as once in the long jump, and was the Horizon League Indoor Field Athlete of the Meet as both a senior and a junior. In addition to the individual titles, Taylor went on to earn All-League Second Team honors in four different instances (2013 Outdoor long jump, 2013 Indoor long jump, 2012 Outdoor long jump, 2010 Outdoor triple jump) and capped her 2011 campaign with an 18^th-place finish in the triple jump at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, to become Milwaukee's first All-American since 2007.
 
The 2010 Horizon League Outdoor Field Newcomer of the Year, Taylor was a 10-time Horizon League Athlete of the Week who started strong right out of the gates. She broke the school record in the triple jump twice as a freshman, becoming the first Panther woman to ever triple jump 40 feet when she reset her own mark by nearly a foot with a 40-9 1/2 jump. By the time the outdoor championships rolled around she made quite a first impression, finishing runner-up in the triple jump and third in the long jump at the league meet.
 
She broke her own school record in the triple jump with mark of 40-10 1/4 as a sophomore, a mark that was also a new Klotsche Center record. She cleared 40-3 four times on the season and placed second in triple jump at the NCAA Qualifier in Ames, Iowa. At one point in her career, she jumped 42 feet in three consecutive meets, breaking the outdoor record three times while topping out at  42'4.5.

As a junior, Taylor continued to add to already extensive resume with league titles in both triple jump and long jump. She broke her own school record in triple jump with a leap of 41-7 1/4 and set the Klotsche Center record at 41-3 1/4. She placed third at the NCAA Qualifier and set the Klotsche record in long jump as well, clearing 19-5 1/2. In the spring, she won her fourth-straight league title in triple jump with mark of 40-9 and narrowly missed her second-straight trip to the NCAA Championships after outstanding performances at NCAA West Regional, taking 17th in triple jump and 22nd in long jump.
 
She capped her MKE career with her third straight indoor triple jump title at the Horizon League Championships in the Spring of 2013 and also finished runner-up in long jump at the league championships. Taylor broke the school record in long jump with a leap of 19-10 3/4 and, despite battling injury, smashed the school record and finished 16th in the region in long jump with a leap of 20-1 1/2 at the NCAA West Regional Meet to just miss a return trip to the NCAA Championships.
