Taylor is also an eight-time USTFCCCA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year with three indoor honors and five outdoor selections.

During the 2016-17 season, the Women of Oregon made history as the first women’s Division I team to complete the Triple Crown in the same academic year.

Under Taylor’s watch, Micah Williams and Kemba Nelson won the men’s and women’s 60 meters at the 2021 NCAA Indoor Championships. Williams’ win was the first in program history while Nelson broke the collegiate record with her 7.05 performance in the final; that time now sits No. 2 all-time. With the wins, Oregon became the first school since LSU (2008) to sweep the NCAA titles at 60 meters.

Later that season, Nelson became the fifth UO woman to run sub-11 with a legal wind in the 100 meters when she recorded a 10.98 performance at the NCAA West Preliminary. Four of the five women on that list—Nelson, Jasmine Todd, Jenna Prandini and Hannah Cunliffe—were coached by Taylor. Nelson added wind-aided times of 10.90 (+2.2) and 10.91 (+2.1) that season.

Williams earned a spot on Team USA for the 2021 Olympics by way of his fifth-place and school-record performance of 9.91 in the finals at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field. He went to Tokyo as a member of the 4x100-meter relay pool, and was joined in that pool by fellow Duck Cravon Gillespie.

In 2022, Williams lowered his own school records to 6.48 over 60 meters indoors and 9.86 in the 100 outdoors. He set an all-conditions best of 9.83 (+2.5) at the 2022 Mt. SAC Relays and broke the Pac-12 Championships meet record with a time of 9.93, eclipsing the previous mark of 9.97 shared by former UO standout Cravon Gillespie and Andre De Grasse (USC).

Nelson, a three-time 2022 Pac-12 champion, was the NCAA runner-up at 100 meters this past season, and was also part of the Ducks’ 4x100-meter relay that finished third at the NCAA Championships.

Overall, Taylor coached the Women of Oregon to seven NCAA outdoor qualifiers, and like Nelson the year before, saw a breakthrough during the indoor season from Jadyn Mays. The Arizona native finished third at the 2021 NCAA Indoor Championships at 60 meters, complete with a 7.09 performance in the semifinals.

Nelson went on to earn a silver medal at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 as the lead-off leg for Team Jamaica in the 4x100-meter relay. She ran a school-record 10.88 to finish second over 100 meters at the Jamaican Championships.

For the second time under Taylor, the UO women won the 4x100-meter relay at the Pac-12 meet with their victory in 2021. The winning team of Nelson, Mays, Jasmin Reed and Danyel White became the fifth-fastest quartet in school history with a 42.86 in the semifinals at the NCAA Championships. The Ducks repeated as Pac-12 champions in the 4x100 at the 2022 conference meet held at Hayward Field.
