Taylor is the first MSU student athlete to attend the NCAA Career in Sports Forum
May 15, 2017 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE, Miss. โ All-American Charles Taylor has been selected to participate in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum, the institution announced Monday.
ย
The Career in Sports Forum is an annual educational forum that brings together 200 student-athletes from around the country to learn and explore potential careers in sports, with the primary focus on college athletics. The four-day forum is designed to assist student-athletes in charting their career paths, as well as provide an opportunity to network and learn from current athletics professionals.
ย
Taylor, a senior civil engineering major, has competed with the Bulldogs since 2014. He earned All-America status during the 2015 season when his 4x400m relay team placed third at NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
ย
"I am excited for this experience," Taylor said. "It is going to be really cool. We are going to go up to the NCAA office and get the chance to meet with a lot of the leadership at the NCAA and other athletes from around the country. I am an engineering major, but this provides a cool opportunity to look at a possible career in sports if that is something I want to pursue later in life."
ย
The program will take place June 1-4 at the NCAA national office in Indianapolis, Indiana.
ย
"I am really proud to see Charles rewarded for all the hard work he has done in the classroom and on the track," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "Charles has had a great track career, and has also balanced life as a student in a really difficult major. He has set himself up to have a very bright future, and we look forward to seeing all he is going to accomplish athletically and beyond."
