Taylor will make her Olympic debut in Paris after she was selected by USA Triathlon to be one of three women on the US triathlon team. Like her NYAC teammate Kirsten Kasper, Taylor missed selection for the 2016 and 2020 teams, but has established herself as one of the most consistent triathletes in the world in recent years, finishing fourth overall in the World Triathlon Championship Series in 2022 and 2023.
Over the course of her career, Taylor has earned 14 World Triathlon Series podiums, in addition to silver and bronze medals, respectively, at the 2020 and 2022 World Triathlon Mixed Relay Championships.
Growing up in California, Taylor was the national champion at the 2011 and 2012 National Ocean Lifeguard competitions. As a collegiate swimmer at Cal Poly State, she specialized in long distance freestyle before picking up triathlon during her senior year.
She lives and trains in Girona, a city in Catalonia, Spain, where she shares the same coach as her NYAC and Paris 2024 teammate, Seth Rider.
