CHRISTIAN TAYLORNEW YORK, NEW YORK — A talented, versatile horizontalist and long sprinter, Christian Taylor posted an early 52-0 in the triple jump at the Tennessee State University Invitational, indoors, and never looked back. He has been a consistent force in the long jump, triple jump and 400 meters in 2008, and proved it with triple gold medal performances at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships in late March.
Effortlessly transitioning into his outdoors campaign, Taylor jumped within two inches of his indoors best, uncorking a 51-10 at the Marietta Invitational and moving into the No. 1 position.
Taylor competed as a member of the 2007 U.S. World Youth Championships team, last summer, in Ostrava, Czech Republic, and garnered a gold medal in the hop-step-jump. He is currently ranked No. 2 in the long jump (25-4.50) and No. 5 in the 400 meters (47.08).
