A Douglas County native, she won her third consecutive Olympic medal during the Winter Olympics in South Korea with bobsledding teammate Lauren Gibbs.

Married since April 2014, Taylor and her husband Nic Taylor both are Olympic bobsledders.
Meyers Taylor also is one of 13 nominees for Best of the Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018 with a voting deadline by the public of March 15 at awards.teamUSA.org/nominees.
