Tate Taylor, a San Antonio native and Harlan High School alum, made history at the World Under-20 Championships, becoming the first American to complete the sprint double by winning the men’s 200-meter final in 19.83 seconds.
Record-Breaking Performance
Taylor dominated the race, winning by 0.48 seconds. The time also broke the championship record and gave him his second gold medal of the meet.
Taylor will next join the Texas Tech track and field team. The 2027 World Championships in Beijing and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are also ahead for San Antonio’s own sprint sensation.
