Athletics Hall of Fame
Allie Cuozzo was a three-sport standout for the Union College indoor track & field, lacrosse and soccer teams during her incredible four years on campus, competing in seven NCAA Championships and earning All-Conference honors in all 11 seasons of competition.
Â
Cuozzo's biggest impact came on the track, where she earned the first and only two USTFCCCA All-America honors in program history. As a first-year, she placed seventh nationally in the 800 meters to become the program's first All-American, then finished as the national runner-up in the event as a sophomore. She was named the Liberty League Indoor Track Co-Runner of the Year as well as the NTSCTC Most Outstanding Female Runner of the Meet as well as a sophomore, and finished her three-year career with four conference titles and two ECAC titles on the track. She still remains a school record-holder in seven events: the 500, 600, 800, 1000 and mile as well as the 4x800 and distance medley relays.
Â
In addition to her time on the track, Cuozzo was also a four-time All-Liberty League selection in both soccer and lacrosse as well. On the soccer field, she was named the Liberty League Player of the Year and also earned NSCAA Scholar All-American (the program's first and only honor) and CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition as a senior, and she finished her career with 28 goals and 15 assists for 71 points, ranking 10th in career goals at Union. An All-Region honoree on the lacrosse field as well, she netted 91 goals with 33 assists for 124 points in 63 games, and ranks in the program top 10 in both caused turnovers (65) and ground balls (142).
Â
As a result of her success, Cuozzo swept Union's four year-end athletic awards, winning the Terry Lynch-Jackie Havercamp Cuttita Memorial Award in 2007, the Female Sophomore Athletic Prize in 2008, the ECAC Medal of Merit in 2009, and the Robert M. Ridings Award in 2010. She also served as Union's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee president as a senior.
