RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. --- Track and Field added another female sprinter to its already deep roster by getting a commitment from Taylor Holcomb.
Â
Holcomb has not been running track that long, but she has made an immediate impact as a dual-sport athlete at Ontario Christian High School. She qualified for the CIF Southern Section finals last year, her first year running track, and she also plays volleyball for the Knights.
Â
"Taylor is an outstanding fit for Biola University and I am very excited for her," said Head Coach
Jonathan Zimmerman. "She is coming out of a wonderful school where she played varsity volleyball along with excelling in track and field and in the classroom. We are blessed to have her join our team and I know it will be a blessing for her as well."
Â
Holcomb spends most of her time training and running the 100m and 200m sprints. She has a personal record of :12.61 in the 100m and :25.39 in the 200m. Her current 100m time is just .34 shy of Biola's all-time record in that event, and her 200m time is also less than a second shy of the school record.
Â
After spending these two seasons under Coach Mason Burroughs at Ontario Christian Holcomb will join Zimmerman's defending conference championship squad next year.
