Christian Taylor GA 51-3, Vashti Thomas CA 41-3.25

Last event of a glorious weekend for this pair -
each wins to complete an individual triple, something which had not been done in 24 years of this meet.


No contest for Taylor's third gold medal

by Matt Soja, DyeStat correspondence

After winning long jump and 400m, Christian Taylor was the overwhelming favorite to take this event as well and complete his quest for three golds at NSIC, leading the nation by more than a foot with his 52-footer this winter, which was US #3 all-time. And after reaching 51'2.5 in the qualifying flight, the only remaining question was whether he could challenge the national record of 52'7.5, which he indicated he would be shooting for. But this mark proved to be too challenging for his tired legs, although he did improve to 51'3 on his final jump.
 
No other competitor was even close to challenging him, with New Yorker Albert Johnson grabbing the silver with 48'2, more than three feet behind.
 
Taylor capped off his remarkable triple-gold weekend with an impressive performance, and the Sandy Creek senior is sure to wow the crowds next year as well when he competes for 
University of Florida.
