The indoor Heps track championships are at Dartmouth's Leverone Field House today and tomorrow.Given that the outdoor schedule on the track at Memorial Field is light, this will be the last chance to see senior Abbey D'Agostino – the top collegiate distance runner in the nation – run in these parts when it matters. She is scheduled to run in the mile trials at 3:30 today and come back to run the 5K at 4:35.
Tomorrow she should be in the mile finals at 12:10 and run a leg in the 4x8 relay at 3:35. D'Agostino, the most decorated runner in Ivy League history and the winner of four national titles in the 2013 calendar year, was the Most Outstanding Female Track Athlete of the Meet last year at Harvard.
