The tradition of track and field at Taylor is a long and successful one. Most recently we have qualified twenty-one women over the past three years for competition at the NAIA National Championship Meet. Twice Lady Trojans have earned All-American honors, and many more have been selected as Scholar-Athletes. However, Taylor Track and Field is about much more than championships and honors.
