You can do whatever you want. There are no barriers to succeeding except your mental state and your physical state, which are things you can control. Indeed, Taylor's stamina, versatility, and sheer force of will have exploded boundaries most track athletes live with. Consider simply the number of events she runs.

Nothing will push you more than knowing you're out there for someone else who is also pushing herself to the limit. It's no surprise that she is now in her second year as women's track co-captain, this year sharing the honors with Marna Schutte '01.

He tells how, last year, Taylor pulled a hamstring early in the outdoor season, but was running fast again by the Heptagonals. There, she reinjured the muscle while winning the 100-meter dash.
