TexasTrackDad Podcast: Featuring Taylor Nunez

Sprinting Into the Future: Taylor Nunez’s Journey from State Legend to Olympic Aspirations

In this inspiring episode of TexasTrackDad Podcast, we sit down with Taylor Nunez, the most decorated girls high school sprinter in Texas history and a committed star heading to Texas A&M. A legend at Randolph High School, Taylor capped her career with an unmatched 16-for-16 run of individual state gold medals in the 100 m, 200 m, long jump, and relays—and did it without ever losing a state meet race ([San Antonio Report][1], [San Antonio Express-News][2]).

As Taylor takes this moment of pause after her final high school season, she sets her sights on the 2028 Olympics on home turf in Los Angeles. She’s aiming to shave her 100 m time down to the high‑10 seconds and extend her long jump from 21 to 22 feet ([San Antonio Report][1]). Beyond her athletic goals, Taylor is deeply grounded: she graduated with a strong 3.7 GPA and plans to pursue a degree in kinesiology, with dreams of working in physical therapy—choosing a professional path over turning pro immediately ([San Antonio Report][1]).

Coming from a powerhouse athletic lineage—her mom, Tameka, is a former Olympian-caliber competitor, and her grandparents were athletes, too—Taylor's discipline, focus, and dedication shine through. She’s made sacrifices for her craft, from early morning workouts to missed prom nights, all while keeping her eye on using track as a springboard to adulthood ([San Antonio Report][1]).

Tune in to hear Taylor’s story: from family inspiration and record-setting high school dominance to recruiting experiences, balancing academics with elite training, and mapping her Olympic dream. It’s a conversation full of heart, grit, and Texas-sized ambition—perfect for fans, aspiring athletes, and anyone curious about what's next for this rising sprint and jump start.
