Steve Mucchetti enters his second year as a volunteer assistant coach at Yale. He works with the men's middle and long-distance runners during the track season, and with the men's cross country team. A 2006 graduate of Dartmouth College, Mucchetti captained Dartmouth's cross country team to an Ivy League championship in 2005, and helped the Big Green place 15th at the NCAA Championship meet later that season. Mucchetti also placed 4th individually at the Ivy League Championship in 2006, after the Ivy League granted him a medical hardship waiver that allowed him to use his final season of collegiate cross country eligibility at Dartmouth.
On the track, Mucchetti was Dartmouth's fastest 3,000-meter runner during 2005 and 2006; his best mark of 8:07.69 ranks 9th all-time. Mucchetti scored points on five occasions at various Ivy League Championship meets, and ran 14:15.91 for 5,000 meters at the 2006 Penn Relays.
A native of Ridgefield, Conn., Mucchetti was the Connecticut cross country champion as a high school senior in 2001.
