Big Ten runner-up and NCAA scorer Cody Taylor has been removed from the Indiana Hoosier roster page after competing with the team in the fall and winter.
Taylor, a junior with IU, competed for the Hoosiers at multiple meets last fall, including the triple dual with Texas and Florida, the USA College Challenge and U.S. Winter Nationals. But he no longer appears on the roster on the team’s official website, IUHoosiers.com. When reached for more information, the team declined to comment on Taylor’s removal from the roster, citing privacy issues.
Taylor was a breakout breaststroker for the Hoosiers last year. He finished second at the Big Ten Championships in the 200 breaststroke, going 1:52.70 and coming within three one-hundredths of a second of the conference title. He was also 5th in the conference in the 100 breast (53.00), and went on to score national points with a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
Taylor had already been 1:58.21 in the 200 breast and 54.81 in the 100 breast this season. He did not compete in the team’s wins over Big Ten conference rivals Michigan or Purdue earlier this month.
Lots of trolling here. The situation isn’t that dramatic. Cody could be back.
Cody isn’t out because he quit, he’s out because his gpa isn’t high enough. His freshmen year he came into IU with a 4.0. Apparently his grades have dipped a little. I’ve trained with him before. His gpa is not high enough, but he is extremely smart and will get it up.
North is a great kid. Truly ridiculous what they did to him. I’m sad to see that even such a strong team can be so weak at times.
Are you serious? Do you have any ides what he did? He is lucky to still be is school.
Who did he almost hurt?
This whole thing is ridiculous, North is an amazing kid and will be greatly missed. So sad to see a kid with so much potential and energy go. I personally will miss him immensely.
Crazy internal politics between coaches and captains….team is having its best season in years and am told all really like each other, but thats not what coaches and captains want….bad mojo on the team caused by the captains and the coaches…swimmers tried to vote the captains out but the coaches wouldn’t let them…one captain had a heart attack and is out for the season…a few went to rio but that doesnt make a “team”
Sad to see this. Best wishes to Cody and his future plans.
He quit.
Sad to see Cody Taylor stop swimming, he obviously had a lot of talent. Hopefully he is okay and this wasn’t injury related. However North and Alex Vissering appear that they would not have even made IU’s travel team. With the vast amount of distance swimmers that IU has, a 9:33 in the 1000 from North wont come close to travelling or breaking a school record. It is unfortunate to see that the comments are revolving around the removal of two swimmers instead of the success that IU has seen this year. IU has just recently beat Michigan ( The Big Ten Champs) without North, Alex or Cody. The addition of Mohomad Sammy will be a huge help in making… Read more »
Muhammed is a huge help but with all the roster changes I’m going to start watching it more closely. I can’t imagine Lorentz would quit at this time during his senior year so maybe he was unfairly and unnecessarily cut like North and Alex?
Maybe the comments revolve around 2 swimmers being removed from the team because the article is about another swimmer being removed from the team
