Taylor helped lead the Pioneers in their second event of the indoor season at the Kent State Golden Flash Gala on Friday.
 
Both cemented their status in the all-time G-MAC top performances list for the indoor season with impressive showings in the 3K and the weight throw, respectively.
 
This is Taylor’s second straight G-MAC Field Athlete of the Week honor.
 
Taylor reset his own conference record in the weight throw with a distance of 18.13 meters, more than one full meter from his previous season best of 17.18 (the previous G-MAC Record) at the Youngstown State Icebreaker.
 
Taylor would place ninth in the event, respectively, while recording another provisional mark for the NCAA Championships.
