Diljeet’s coaching is No. 1 … no, literally. She was just named NCAA Women’s National Coach of the Year in 2024. Diljeet has had an illustrious career, and this is the third time she has won this award (2019, 2020-21, and now 2024). Diljeet has coached two NCAA team titles, two NCAA second place finishes, and is a three-time winner of Mountain Regional Coach of the Year, and seven-time winner of conference coach of the year. Diljeet has taken her team through seven conference championships, six individual national championship titles in track events, and one individual BYU national cross country title. She also coached two Olympians that competed in Paris in 2024. On top of all of that, Diljeet is an author (check out her book “Believe in HER” in the photo)! Diljeet’s pride and joy are her two boys, Taj (16) and Avi (13). Fun Fact! Diljeet has been featured in Utah Valley Magazine’s glossy pages before! In summer of 2021, Diljeet was one of 10 women to be featured in our Women’s Issue alongside other female powerhouses like Ruth Todd (media personality turned Nu Skin executive) and Stephanie Dailey (custom home builder). Because of her recent accolades, she has earned her spot on this page.
Dealer’s Choice A day in the life for me starts with waking up early to get a workout in — a run and lift. Then I take the boys to school (if I can with my busy schedule). Then it’s off to practices for both my women and pros. Each day looks a little different. After all of that, I’m on to my meetings with athletes or staff, always doing other things as they pop up.
