Taylor Bacon

TUMBLING TECHNIQUE COACH AND VARSITY ASSISTANT COACH: Taylor Bacon

Taylor has an extensive background in tumbling and started classes when she was 4 years old under Boise State’s current Head Gymnastics Coach, Tina Bird. She did competitive gymnastics for 8 years and ended her gymnastics career as an Idaho State Champion. Taylor was then introduced to cheer through ICU/Wings cheer in middle school, where she learned how to stunt and solidified her spot as a flyer. In the span of 2-3 months she quickly went from no experience to performing elite stunts and pyramids, and improving her tumbling skills even further (full through to full, standing handspring full, running double).

Taylor cheered locally at Mountain View High for 3 years, winning a National Title during her Sophomore year. She went on to cheer in college and is also a proud Boise State Cheer alumni! After cheer, she split the remainder of her time in college between BSU and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. This is Taylor’s second year of coaching a Varsity-level team, and she can’t wait to bring her tumbling and stunting knowledge to Owyhee’s program alongside this incredible staff!
