This spring, D’Agostino added to her already impressive resume by winning three more Ivy League championships (3000 meters, 5000 meters, and 10,000 meters) in May. By winning all three distance races, she accomplished in one weekend what no other Ivy League female had ever done in an entire career.

Just over a week ago, the Topsfield, Mass., native placed second in a field of 48 and won her 5000-meter heat at the 2014 NCAA East Regional, securing a berth at this week’s NCAA Division I Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., where D’Agostino will seek her eighth career national title.

Additionally, Mark Coogan was named the 2014 Northeast Region Women’s Outdoor Assistant Coach of the Year.
