Taylor Bouchard is in his first year as a volunteer assistant track and field coach at the University of Idaho. He will assist the coaches of the sprint and jump groups. He is pursuing his masters in Adult Organizational Leadership and Learning.
Bouchard most recently coached as a graduate assistant in charge of high jump, long jump and triple jump at Dakota Wesleyan University, an NAIA institution. Every jumper on the roster saw a positive progression in one of their respective events, leading to six jump school records being broken, and many more Top 10 program performances. Taylor contributed to two more school records in the pentathlon and heptathlon as he was responsible for the multis jump events. Five jumpers qualified for both the NAIA Indoor and NAIA Outdoor National Meets. These appearances were highlighted by Kamberlyn Lamer's National Championship win in both the Pentathlon and Heptathlon and Jared Rabenberg's third place finish in the high jump outdoors.Â
While a member of the coaching staff, the 2019 Dakota Wesleyan women’s indoor and outdoor teams were nationally ranked in the top 25 by the NAIA USTFCCCA's National Rating Index. The National Rating Index also recognized the Dakota Wesleyan women triple jumpers as the number one 2019 NAIA Indoor Track triple jump squad in the country.
Bouchard competed at St. Lawrence University in the triple jump, high jump, long jump, and 400m.
