About Coach Taitt

From National Champion to Mentor.

Three decades on the runway. One mission today: develop the next generation of jumpers.

The Bio.

Tyrell Taitt was a standout member of the NC State Track & Field team from 1990 to 1994 and one of the most dominant triple jumpers in program history.

He won five ACC individual triple jump titles, earned All-ACC honors six times, was named ACC MVP for triple jump in 1993 and 1994, and became NC State's first individual NCAA Track & Field Champion by winning the 1993 men's outdoor triple jump national title.

He is a three-time All-American and still holds NC State's indoor triple jump record of 54' 6.5".

Today Coach Taitt brings that same standard to JumpsClinic — coaching long jump, triple jump, and sprint mechanics for athletes of all ages.
