Dylan Hassett joined the post-collegiate program in September of 2015 after a stellar collegiate career at the College of William & Mary. She competed in three NCAA Cross Country championships and was a three-time qualifier in the 10,000 meters on the track and once at 5,000 meters. After adjusting to GTC-ELITE's training program, Dylan ran the longest race of her career and placed second in the Lake Nona 15K in Florida with a time of 53:07. She finished the fall season with an excellent 15th place finish at the 2016 USATF Club Cross Country Championships in San Francisco. Following her coaches plan, she ventured up to the 13.1-mile distance in the Jax Bank Half Marathon in Jacksonville, FL and qualified for the USA Olympic Marathon Trials with an excellent time of 1:14:09. Although not having a full training buildup for the Marathon Trials, she finished with a time of 2:57:46 on a very hot day in Los Angeles. Two months later, she was able to win the 2016 TD Bank Reedy River Run 10K in Greenville with a time of 35:01 over the difficult course. On the track, she improved her 10,000 best by 23 seconds with a 34:03 performance at the Portland Track Festival. She ran 34:37 to place 15th at the 2016 USA Women's 10K Championships in Boston, before running her road personal best of 34:29 for second place in Lake Nona, FL. After running 1:16:03 for the Richmond Half Marathon (4th place) she set her sights on the 2016 USATF Club XC Championships in Tallahassee. However, she came down with a viral infection before the race and placed 30th. Dylan was plagued with chronic plantar fasciitis (which first occurred during her collegiate career) during the fall and it worsened to the point of taking time off in December ('16) and January ('17). Due to the persistent tenderness in her foot, she only raced once in 2017-- a third place finish in the TD Bank Reedy River Run 10K. She decided to not renew her contract when it expired at the end of June and move on to another training group. Dylan joined the New England Distance Project and also changed her International affiliation to Ireland. She improved her marathon personal best to 2:35:29 at the 2020 Chevron Houston Marathon.
