Mount Saint Mary College Athletics

Marking the first track and field student-athlete to enter the Mount Saint Mary College Athletic Hall of Fame, Scott Colello left an indelible mark on the program.  He graduated with an astonishing 31 school records with 10 marks still standing on the Mount's record board.
 
Colello was the first male athlete to qualify for the ECAC Track and Field Championships in 2013 and was tabbed the 2013 MSMC Male Athlete of the Year at the department's annual end of the year awards ceremony.
 
He placed his name on the record board a total of 31 times between indoor and outdoor track and field and still holds the 55-meter hurdle and Triple Jump Indoor marks as well as the Outdoor standards in the 200 and 400-meters, the 400-meter hurdles, the Long Jump, Triple Jump and Decathlon. Colello is also part of the 4x400 and 1,600-meter sprint medley Outdoor relay teams.
 
"My team was my family at the Mount, we ran/swam, traveled, studied, and ate together. Competing in meets every weekend, long runs and early morning practices during preseason are all fond memories I have as a student-athlete. I especially miss our hour plus runs around beautiful Chadwick lake or across the bridge to Beacon," Scott recalls.
 
Scott notes that being a captain over the course of his career gave him invaluable leadership experience that he carried through graduate school and into his professional practice. He also notes that training and competing year-around helped his learn the determination he needed complete graduate school.
 
Upon his graduation from the Mount, Scott started his graduate school career at the University of Bridgeport School of Chiropractic in 2014. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2018 with a Doctorate of Chiropractic and soon after was hired as a Chiropractic Physician at Beth Israel Deaconess' Spine Care and Neurosurgery clinic in Plymouth, Mass.
 
Scott is in his third year at the clinic and currently lives in Plymouth, Mass. During the global pandemic, however, Scott was redeployed as a frontline drive-through tester for COVID-19. He is recently engaged to former Mount Saint Mary College runner Christine Brown and the couple has a 2021 wedding planned.
 
"I feel very honored to be inducted into the MSMC Athletics Hall of Fame. Being a Mount athlete was a huge part of my life and I am glad it continues today."
