NEW ORLEANS, La. – After a historic outdoor campaign for his event group, Harvard track & field associate head coach - men's sprints & hurdles and horizontal jumps Marc Mangiacotti is the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Associations' Outdoor Men's Assistant Coach of the Year for the northeast region.

Mangiacotti's event group rewrote the school and Ivy League record book on multiple occasions during the 2026 season. The men's 4x100m relay of junior Timi Esan, senior Jonas Clarke, sophomore LeRoy Horton and junior Amari Turner became the first team in Ivy League history to run a time below 39.00 seconds, posting a time of 38.90 at the NCAA East First Round. The men's 4x100m relay became the first quartet in school history to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships as well.

Along with the men's 4x100m relay's success, Esan also set a new Ivy League all-conditions record in the men's 100m with a wind-aided time of 10.15 at the Texas Relays. At the 2026 Ivy League Heptagonal Outdoor Championships, first-year Joachim Johnson won the Ivy title in the men's triple jump, as Mangiacotti's athletes accounted for 55 percent of Harvard's 130 points in the Garden State.

Harvard recently concluded the 2025-26 track & field season at the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships, as three student-athletes earned All-America honors.
