Taylor obliterated a pair of throwing records with the discus and hammer throw standards both being shattered.
Taylor provisionally qualified for nationals in both events and currently is No. 2 in NCAA DII in the discus throw and ranks 15th overall in the hammer throw through the weekend’s events.
Taylor’s new record is over 10 meters longer than the previous best. He had an attempt of 54.20 meters.
The hammer throw record was broken in similar fashion following a 57.07m recorded try. The previous record was 48.38m.
