Taylor earned the GWC Championship Meet Male Outstanding Performance honors after his 100 time of 10.27 seconds and his 200 time of 20.84 not only set CSUB school records, but also broke the GWC records as the fastest ever. He also notched a 46.7 split in the Roadrunners 4X400 men's relay that set new CSUB and GWC records.

"I feel amazing. I achieved a seasonal best, a personal best, and broke both the conference record and my school's record," Taylor said. "I'm glad for my team and proud that I could represent us well, being that we are newcomers to this conference.  I feel this is a great way to come and set a standard.  That makes me happy. I feel good that I could come here and win big. I've been trying all year to beat my personal record, and being able to do that and set a conference record means I am able to perform when it really matters."

All together the Roadrunners had three individual champions, including CSUB's Thomas Judge (Jr., Bakersfield, Calif., Garces HS) hammer victory that also set a GWC record. The CSUB men's and women's teams combined to post 12 seasonal-best times and eight personal records. In the team standings, the Roadrunner men placed fifth while the women took sixth out of eight teams. Utah Valley won the men's and women's overall team titles.

"I am very proud of our team for representing CSUB in a positive fashion both on and off the track," said CSUB head coach Alan Collatz. The student-athletes competed well and gave all they had for the team. Jordan was amazing. His 10.27, 20.84 and 46.7 split in the 4X400 relay is one of the best performances in CSUB history in any sport."
