Becoming the first man to win gold in the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay at a single World Athletics U20 Championships Oregon 26, Tate Taylor earned recognition as the 29th USATF Athlete of the Week award winner for 2026 🏅

It is his second AOW honor of the year 🇺🇸

A double sprint champion at the #USU20Champs, Taylor matched that feat and added relay gold at #WorldAthleticsU20. He ran 9.94 in the 100 for the sixth fastest time in U20 history, and then set a Championships record of 19.83 to take the 200 gold. That was the 10th fastest U20 performance ever. 👏
 
Taylor capped off his memorable week by anchoring the Team USATF 4x100 to gold and a world U20 record of 38.16, obliterating the previous world record of 38.51 by South Africa in 2021.
