Taylor Cudequest serves as the head coach of Edinboro University’s track and field program, where he emphasizes athlete development, competitive excellence, and a team culture built on accountability and support.
Under Cudequest’s leadership, Edinboro’s track and field roster has grown from 11 student-athletes to nearly 100 in approximately two years. That growth reflects his commitment to recruiting athletes who can contribute to the Fighting Scots while building an environment where student-athletes can develop academically, athletically, and personally.
Cudequest’s coaching experience spans sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws, and combined events. His coaching résumé includes four All-American honors, five Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championships, two USA Championships qualifiers, and a top-three finisher at the USA U20 Championships. Connor Munson earned First Team All-American honors in the heptathlon and Second Team honors in the decathlon, while Jada Cole earned Second Team All-American honors in both the indoor and outdoor high jump. Cudequest emphasizes purposeful training, technical development, and individualized coaching to help athletes progress toward their goals.
His coaching accomplishments also extend to national and international competition. In 2026, Cudequest coached Alysa Henry to an appearance at the USA Indoor Combined Events Championships. Henry also competed at the Women’s Decathlon World Championships, finishing sixth overall and as the top finisher for Team USA.
A former combined-events athlete, Cudequest earned a third-place decathlon finish and All-American honors at New Balance Nationals before later qualifying for two USA Championships. His experience competing across multiple disciplines informs his approach to coaching and gives him an understanding of the preparation, consistency, and resilience required to succeed.
At Edinboro, Cudequest is focused on building a nationally competitive NCAA Division II program while providing meaningful mentorship. He aims to help student-athletes achieve success in competition and develop habits that serve them well beyond their collegiate careers.
