Lacy Dagen Granted Sixth Year
July 13, 2020 | Women's Gymnastics
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State gymnast Lacy Dagen has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, head coach Tanya Chaplin announced Monday.
Dagen, who grew into a top scorer for the Beavers on two events in 2020, could vie for end of lineup duties on both of her specialties, the vault and balance beam.
"I'm really excited to be coming back for another year," Dagen said. "After being sidelined for a couple years early in my career, I knew I couldn't pass up an opportunity to finish on my terms. I'm so grateful to Tanya and Michael (Chaplin) for recognizing my commitment to Oregon State and for giving me the chance to continue to grow as a leader of this team for one final year."
Dagen arrived in Corvallis following a pair of injury-marred seasons at Florida. She missed the entire 2016 season due to a knee injury, then performed once on the vault in 2017 before suffering a second season-ending knee injury that February.
Since arriving on campus at Oregon State, Dagen has gradually regained her health and has been a mainstay in the vault and beam lineups the past two seasons. In 2020, Dagen set her career-high on the beam with a 9.975 in a win over Stanford, and posted personal-bests of 9.875 on the vault in the final three meets of the season.
Dagen graduated in June with a bachelor's degrees in innovation management and will begin Master's courses in kinesiology in the fall.
She will team up for the third straight year with younger sister, Madi, to help lead a squad that includes 11 returning letterwinners which combined to perform 14 out of 24 routines last winter.
