Taylor and men’s co-captain Chris Clever are also poised to win their events this weekend.

Taylor is favored to win her third consecutive ECAC title in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles. She has not run the event since winning the Penn Relays on April 26 in 56.11 seconds, the best time run by in American this year, and good for seventh on the world performance list.

Taylor ran the 100-meter high hurdles at the Princeton Invitational last weekend and finished in 13.60 seconds, just off the pace of the personal-best, meet-record time of 13.56 seconds she ran at Outdoor Heps two weeks ago, which helped her earn Athlete of the Meet Honors. She is also a provisional NCAA qualifier in the 100 hurdles, in which she is ranked 44th in the nation. Nevertheless, her competitive focus at the national level is entirely on the 400 hurdles.

Taylor will begin her bid for her first NCAA title on May 30. The finals for the 400 hurdles are on June 1.

Clever—presently ranked fifth on this year’s national performance list in the javelin—broke the Heptagonal meet record two weekends ago with a throw of 74.06 meters. Clever will now set his sights on the IC4A title and the meet record of 72.34 meters, currently held by Rob Manning of Princeton, who was once Clever’s top Ivy rival.

Clever will throw for his NCAA title on the evening of May 30th.

Five other Crimson athletes will be competing at Princeton this weekend. Several others qualified for the meet, but chose not to compete because of exams.

None of those five competing athletes have qualified for NCAAs, although sophomore jumper Helena Ronner and McLean-Foreman are the closest.
