EUGENE, Ore. – TrackTown USA’s original video series “Road to TrackTown” returns for a fourth season, delivering an all-access look at athletes’ journeys to the 2026 World Athletics U20 Championships at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.
Previous seasons of “Road to TrackTown” earned industry recognition by receiving a Northwest Emmy Award nomination in the category of “Sports Story - Short and Long Form Content” and making the Hashtag Sports Award shortlist in the category of “Best Original Film or Series: Long Form.”
Athletes to be featured in the 2026 season of “Road to TrackTown” include:
Tate Taylor (San Antonio, Texas) - Tate is one of only four high school boys to ever run the 100m in under ten seconds, and he is the only one to do so as an underclassman. His 9.92 from last spring’s Texas State Championships placed him second on the all-time U20 100m list of performances. In March, Taylor ran 20.46 to break Noah Lyles’s American high school record for the indoor 200m. When Tate isn’t on the track, the 2025 National Track & Field Athlete of the Year loves to bowl. Taylor has committed to Texas Tech University.
