Nick Aguila was named the National Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year. Aguila, in his first year as assistant coach at American International, coached the Yellow Jackets’ distance crew to a fantastic year on the track. Athletes coached by Aguila scored 23 of AIC’s 25 points at the 2022 NCAA DII Indoor Track & Field Championships with a national title in the mile, a runner-up effort in the 800 and a fourth-place finish in the distance medley relay. Callum Elson, Aguila’s prized pupil who won the NCAA title in the mile, is ranked seventh on the NCAA DII all-time chart in that event with his 3:59.71 from earlier in the season.
