What's more amazing is that she keeps getting better.
In the 100-meter high hurdles, Taylor's run of 13.73 seconds smashed her school record set last June of 14.11 seconds.
Taylor's stiffest competition in the event came from her sister, Brown junior Lindsay Taylor. The sibling rivalry pushed both athletes into breaking their personal records. Lindsay placed second at 14.21 seconds.
"It definitely helped [in breaking the school record]," Taylor said. "It's always an extra gear when Lindsay's in the lane next to me."
Taylor's other victory for the Crimson came in the 200, which she won with a time of 24.64 seconds.
Although Taylor did not run in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, the event in which she has qualified for the Olympic Trials, Harvard still had enough depth to place one-two in the event. Sophomore Carrie McGraw won with a time of 1:03:06, while freshman Amanda Shanklin's 1:03.72 run clocked right behind her.
"There are events where we've been stacking in the past, but now we can spread out more," Taylor said. "Like in the 400 hurdles, we've got three great runners."
Junior Marna Schutte had a day to remember as well. In the 400, an event in which she has already won multiple Heptagonal championships, Schutte ran a personal-best time of 55.28 seconds. She finished nearly three seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
