A standout member of the JHU Track & Field teams for the last four years, Gutierrez is also the second woman in program history to earn the award, joining Maya Hammonds (2019). Gutierrez holds multiple school records including a 3.82m pole vault that has her seeded sixth for this week's NCAA Championships. Gutierrez will also compete in the heptathlon, an event she is currently seeded 11^th in.
 
Van Allen, the 22^nd-year head man of the Blue Jay programs was named the Mideast Region Women's Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his storied career. Van Allen's team has seven NCAA qualifiers competing across 10 events this week in Greensboro, NC.
