Cuesta Thrower Kiera Taylor has been selected as Cuesta's ESPN1280 Athlete of the Week. Taylor qualified for the State Meet after taking a Silver in the Discus at the CCCAA Southern Regional Finals in Mission Viejo. Taylor's medal-worthy toss of 143' 1" earned her a spot at State and moved her into second place all-time on Cuesta Track & Field's Leader Board. Taylor also posted a season-best mark of 37-5.25 in the Shot Put and is an alternate for the Shot Put, after taking 7th in the event. It was also the 9th best toss in Cuesta history. Track appears to be Taylor's best sport this year, but she also earned all-Conference honors in volleyball and helped women's basketball into the playoffs. Cuesta Track & Field travels to San Mateo this Friday and Saturday for the 2025 CCCAA State Championships.
