Stony Brook University Athletics

Oliver’s standout career on the track and the cross country course makes her one of the most decorated student-athletes in program history.  During her career, she earned six All-America honors and competed in eight NCAA championship track events.  She helped guide Stony Brook to four America East Cross Country titles and earned the 2010 individual title.  On the track, Lucy was a 10-time individual champion at the America East Championships and was named the 2012 America East Woman of the Year. Her Stony Brook career reached its pinnacle in 2012 when she became Stony Brook’s first national champion in any sport when she won the mile with a facility record time of 4:39.76 at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships held at Boise State.   A two-time Olympian for her native country of New Zealand (London 2012 and Rio 2016), Oliver was a three-time US Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association Northeast Athlete of the Year. 

Oliver, who graduated in 2012 with a degree in sociology and earned a master’s in liberal studies, currently is a social worker and continues to run professionally in her native New Zealand.
