As a freshman at Dayton in 2010, Nageotte finished 17th in the pole vault (12-9½) at the NCAA championships at the University of Oregon’s legendary Hayward Field. It was the first time a Dayton vaulter had made it past the NCAA regional. She also won the Atlantic 10 Conference indoor and outdoor championships that season.
As a sophomore in 2011, Nageotte finished second in the A-10 indoor championships and fourth in the outdoor meet. After moving on to Ashland, she won two NCAA Division II titles.
Nageotte, a first-time Olympian, became the third American woman to win the pole vault at the Olympics. Jenn Suhr won in 2012. Stacy Draglia won in 2000.
