A five-time Ivy League Coach of the Year, Coach Vigilante is in his 10th season at Princeton University, where he has led the Tigers to six Ivy League Cross Country Championships and two Triple Crowns. Prior to joining Princeton, Vigilante was the director of cross country and track and field at the University of Virginia, where he was a two-time ACC Coach of the Year, winning ACC Championships in both cross country and outdoor track and field.
Coach Vigilante also spent nine years at the University of Texas, coaching multiple student-athletes to NCAA and Big 12 titles, and setting an Indoor World Record in the distance medley relay (DMR) in 2008.

“Returning to Green Mountain Running Camp [GMRC] has brought me full circle in our sport,” says Vigilante. “I began running as a Green Mountain camper in 1987. The foundation I gained paved the path to my college education, my career, and fostered my love of running. I’m honored to return to GMRC as the camp director and I hope to pass along this wonderful experience.”
A native of Morristown, N.J., Coach Vigilante is no stranger to Green Mountain Running Camp, having spent four summers at GRMC as a camper before heading off to NC State, where he lettered three times with the Wolfpack and earned All-ACC honors in Cross Country.
