2024 Harry Agganis Terrier Pride Award recipient Lauren Keleher (softball) with members of the Agganis family
The Boston University Department of Athletics celebrated one of its icons in the spring of 2019 with the Terrier Pride Award being named in honor of Harry Agganis (SED'54). Considered by many to be one of the finest athletes to ever come out of Massachusetts, Agganis rewrote the school record book as the Terriers' first-ever football All-American and was also an elite baseball star who played for the Boston Red Sox before tragically passing away at the age of 26 due to a pulmonary embolism.
Â
The Terrier Pride Award, which debuted in 2009, is given as merited at the behest of the director of athletics and acknowledges the accomplishments attained by a Boston University student-athlete or coach who bleeds Scarlet and White while exemplifying the characteristics that define "Terrier Pride": leadership, determination, citizenship, humility and teamwork.
