Athlete of the Week: Brenda Taylor `01

Taylor owns school records in the 400-meter hurdles, the 55-meter hurdles, and the 60-meter hurdles. As in Saturday's meet, Taylor set the latter record while running against her sister this January.

"We are definitely each other's biggest competitor and biggest supporter," Taylor said.

Taylor has had a number of equally impressive meets in her Harvard career.

At the Indoor Heptagonal Championships this February, Taylor won the 55-meter hurdles, the 55 meter dash, and the 200 meter run, while leading Harvard to its first league championship since 1990.

At the 1999 ECAC Championships, her time of 57.29 seconds in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles qualified her for the NCAA Championships and the Olympic Trials. That performance places her seventh on this year's NCAA performance list.

With Taylor likely to run in a trio of events as well as a relay or two in this May's Outdoor Heps, the Crimson will have every chance to be crowned champions once again.
