"It was pretty intense," she said. "When it was done, I wasn't even sure I had won. When I saw my name up there (in first place on the scoreboard), I was like, 'Oh my gosh!'"
Keplinger also that day ran the anchor legs of the first-place 4x800 relay (10:13.13) and third-place 4x400 (4:15.52).
"Just tenacious -- that's how I'd describe Morgan," Bailey said. "She just refuses to let someone beat her. If she's got a chance, she's going to be there."
Taylor, meanwhile, won a state title in the 500 (1:19.92), placed third in the 55 hurdles (9.12) and ran legs of the second-place 4x200 (1:51.03) and third-place 4x400.
"Amy is so diverse," Bailey said. "She could run any event and do well."
Taylor's performances were even more remarkable considering she had a knee operation over the summer that kept her sidelined most of the fall soccer season.
"I came into the indoor season pretty out of shape," she said. "My strength just wasn't what it had been because I'd been sitting so long."
But by February, "I was stronger than I'd ever been," Taylor said. "I trained every day, lifted weights three days a week and I just wanted it more being a senior."
In the end, Williamsport edged Digital Harbor 78 1/2 to 73 for the crown.
"It's nice to be a senior and just have everything fall together like that," Taylor said. "You work for four years to get a state championship."
