Record Roll

Distance runner Abbey D’Agostino ’14 made a lasting impression this winter by helping to establish four school records, including a mile run of 4:37:41. The Topsfield, Massachusetts, native says her coach, Mark Coogan, has ingrained within her “the importance of staying calm under pressure.” In return, he says his protégé “has an unshakable self-belief” and “all the attributes” that the best athletes have when they compete. “She has an inner arrogance. She can look at her competition and know she can win,” he adds. Coogan foresees a long and successful track career for D’Agostino. For now, he says, “she is helping put Dartmouth women’s track back on the map.” In March D’Agostino was named to the All-Ivy track and field team.
