Senior NCAA title hopefuls Chris Clever, Brenda Taylor and Dora Gyorffy dominated their respective events last weekend at the 125th IC4A and 18th ECAC Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by Princeton’s Weaver Stadium. It was the trio’s final meet before the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships at Hayward Field in Oregon next week.

Taylor, the co-captain of the women’s track team, broke her own Weaver Stadium record by well over two seconds with a 56.33-second run in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles on Saturday.

And that was only in the preliminaries.

“My goal was to break the [ECAC] meet record of 55.94,” Taylor said. “Originally, I knew I would be tired no matter what on the second day, so I wanted to break that barrier on the first day.”

Taylor made a second run at the meet record on Sunday, but unfavorable weather conditions limited her time to 56.53 seconds, which was still the third-best of her career.

“For whatever reason, I didn’t quite break the record on the first day, so I tried to do it again the second day,” Taylor said. “But it was cold and windy then—just nasty track conditions.”

Taylor’s closest competitors on the weekend failed to break even 59 seconds, so her third consecutive ECAC title was never in doubt.

Now her focus will turn to winning her first NCAA title. Her competition will begin with the semifinals on May 30 and conclude with the finals on June 1.
