At outdoor Heps, Taylor's versatility reached new levels.
She won the 100-meter high hurdles and the 400 hurdles, the latter in a meet record of 59.66 seconds. She ran the second leg mile relay, which captured first place, collected second in the 100-meter and ran the second leg on the third-place 4x100 team.
Harvard also consistently got points from its 4x400 team, the best in school history.
Co-captain Heather Hanson, Taylor, senior Lee Shearer, and sophomore Marna Schutte ran a phenomenal 3:42.84 at Penn Relays. It also ran 3:43.74 on a windy day at outdoor Heps for a meet record. The team posted the top three times ever at Harvard this spring.
"The mile relay was so close to setting an Ivy League record [3:42.71] at Penn and keeps breaking their school record every time they step foot on the track," Schotte said.
Additionally, the team got a boost from seniors that peaked at the end of their careers.
"It was nice seeing seniors finally hit their stride," Schotte said. "Laura Coleman had a personal best at outdoor Heps, and Lee Shearer made finals in 400 after being frustrated by injury for two years. [Thrower] Caroline Johnston came second at Heps, so that's fantastic."
