MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho Track & Field program is thrilled to announce the addition of Tayler LyDay of Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland, Ore.

LyDay was an outstanding basketball player being recruited to play in college, but has chosen to pursue track & field at the collegiate level after taking up the sport in just her senior year.

Despite it being her first year participating in the sport of track & field, LyDay's talent was clear. She focused primarily on the triple jump and after only doing the event for a few weeks, she managed to post a mark of 39'0" at the PIL district championship, where she won the event qualifying her for the Oregon State Championships.
