Hall of Fame
Taylor won Cornell's first NCAA individual track and field championship since Charlie Moore in 1951 when he won the triple jump in an Ivy record 53-8 1/2 in 2007. He earned All-America honors both indoors and outdoors in the triple jump as a senior, adding a fifth-place finish indoors to his national title. Taylor was All-East during both seasons, finishing as IC4A champion indoors and runner-up outdoors. The 2006 indoor Heptagonal champ graduated with the school's second-longest indoor leap (52-1 1/4). He also claimed the outdoor Heps crown in 2006 and graduated with the school record he set in his NCAA championship performance. He was a qualifier for the Pan-American Games in 2007 for Jamaica. After graduation, he used his final season of eligibility at Florida State, finishing fourth in the triple jump at the NCAAs outdoors, helping the Seminoles to a national team title. Taylor also placed eighth indoors as Florida State was the national runner-up.
