As the Director of Track & Field/Cross Country, Lori Taylor has led the Spiders to amazing heights in her 23 years at Richmond. A pioneer, she is one of the first female coaches to be named Director of Track & Field and Cross Country for men’s and women’s teams at the NCAA Division 1 Athletics level.
Coach Taylor’s biography is a testament to her extraordinary accomplishments in the world of collegiate athletics. With a remarkable career spanning several decades, she has left an indelible mark in the history of the Spiders cross country and track & field programs.
In the classroom the Spider men and women extended their steak to 22 consecutive years of earning NCAA All-Academic Team recognition in 2024 for maintaining a cumulative grade point average above 3.0, while five women earned NCAA All-Academic individual recognition. Team members earned 39 Atlantic 10 All-Conference performances in 2024 and were crowned Atlantic 10 Champion on 7 occasions. At the 2024 IC4A/ECAC Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Championships 38 Spiders earned All-East honors and 7 IC4A/ECAC Champions were crowned.
2024 was a year where the Spider women set a total of eight program records including the outdoor distance medley relay (11:03.47), indoor DMR (11:10.35), 1500m (4:15.80), indoor 3,000m (9:26.32), indoor long jump (6.13m), indoor triple jump (12.57m) and outdoor triple jump (12.68m). The women’s team placed as the runner-up team in the Atlantic 10 Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, the Atlantic 10 Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships and placed as the runner-up team in the East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) Outdoor Track & Field Championships. With her guidance the Spiders qualified athletes to the NCAA Championships in five events (long jump, triple jump, 3K Steeplechase, and two athletes in the 1500m). Additionally, three Spiders were crowned national champions with Stuart Terrill winning the 2024 Collegiate Trail Running National Championship, Jordan Bendura won the 2024 Collegiate 10k Road Race National Championship and Madison Trippett was crowned the 2024 Collegiate Road Mile National Champion following the NCAA season.
To say her leadership has been successful is simply an understatement. The 9-time Coach of the Year honoree has a top 25 finish in the NCAA D1 National Cross Country Championship, mentored 287 Conference Champions, an astounding 813 conference medalists (top 3 finishers), 15 NCAA All-Americans, 18 Atlantic 10 Conference Championship team titles and 19 runner-up team finishes just to name a few of her career achievements.
Beyond those achievements, Lori Taylor has played a pivotal role in nurturing talent, as evidenced by her coaching expertise. She has mentored 20 Spider athletes to represent U.S. National Teams, helping shape American teams. At the collegiate level, she has guided 15 NCAA All-Americans and 73 Collegiate Running All-Americans, molding young talents into champions.
Taylor's influence in the world of cross country is also reflected in her overseeing a top 25 team finish in the 2010 NCAA Cross Country Championships, 18 NCAA Division I All-Region Cross Country Performances and 15 top 10 team finishes within the NCAA Southeast Region, showcasing her ability to consistently produce top-tier athletes.
Taylor has demonstrated her expertise in both leadership and athlete development. She is a trailblazer with documented leadership management and her record of building, training, and managing cohesive staff’s while constructing winning teams from the ground up is well established. She is proficient in nurturing the careers of student-athletes, establishing successful recruiting networks and creating a culture of success which continues to grow at Richmond.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity presented 23 years ago to become one of the early female track & field and cross country coaches who were provided the opportunity to oversee both the men’s and women’s programs as the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country”, said Taylor. “My time as an athlete were in the early years of Title IX reform. It was a landmark piece of legislation, and not only provided opportunities for me but also opened doors of opportunity for me as a coach. It empowered women to excel and shine on the track, and demonstrated that dreams have no gender. Whether it’s as athletes and/or coaches, I want to see young women take full advantage of the opportunities available to them."
In 2010, along with husband, Steve, they guided the Spider Men to 24th place in the NCAA D1 Cross Country Championship, a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Southeast Region and witnessed both the men and women lay claim to Atlantic 10 Conference Cross Country Championship titles. The men reaching these milestones as a team without athletic scholarships. The 2010 men’s team was led by 3KSC All-American and 2-time USA mountain running team member, Andrew Benford and 10K All-American track runner, Matt Llano, while the women were led by NCAA All-American 5K runner, Amy Van Alstine and NCAA All-American 3KSC performer and U.S. Olympic Team Trials qualifier, Nicol Traynor.
With over 30 years of coaching at the NCAA DI level, she guided 9 Spiders teams to Atlantic 10 Conference team titles, including the 2021 men’s cross country title were the Spiders placed four men in the top ten to earn All-Conference honors.
Along with athletic success, the Spiders have earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors 22 years in a row for both men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (2001-2023) holding an impressive cumulative GPA over 3.0 over those 22 consecutive years.
Along with her decades of documented success, first as an athlete and now as a coach, she has been awarded several additional prestigious honors in her career. In 2000 she took her place among the Hokie greats when she was inducted into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame. She, and her husband Steve, joined head football coach Frank Beamer as the only inductees voted into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame while still serving the Virginia Tech Athletic Department.
Before coming to Richmond, Taylor coached her Alma Mater, Virginia Tech for 10 years and led the Hokies to three league titles in women’s indoor and outdoor track & field team titles. Also, 4 NCAA All-American performers, including Kristin Price who finished 4th in the 3,000M, 10th in the 5,000M and Katie Ollendick in the Indoor High Jump and Heptathlon. She also crowned 70 individual league champions during her time in Blacksburg, Va. and 182 All-Conference medalists in cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field and an All-Region performer in cross country.
As a Virginia Tech graduate in 1985, she earned All-American honors in track with a 7th-place finish in the 3,000 meters at the 1982 AIAW National Championships. She also garnered All-America honors in cross country with a 17-place individual finish in the 1981 National Cross Country Championships, leading the Hokies to 5th place7th, their all-time best team finish at the national championships.
“Both Steve and I have immense passion for this sport and success,” said Taylor. “You will not find many who are more competitive than us. As coaches here at Richmond we have found a remarkable school which offers so many amazing opportunities for student-athletes. As a staff we have a vision of what our program is and where we are headed. Our culture and environment are one of family, compassion and accountability.
Taylor received her Bachelor of Science degree in education from Virginia Tech in 1985 and completed her Master of Science degree in education in 1988. She is married to men’s coach Steve Taylor. They have a son, Luke who was a multiple time state track champion and all-state performer in high school and who currently competes for a NCAA D1 program in cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field.
