Kerri Gallagher, who advanced to the semifinals of the 1500m at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Oregon in 2016, also raced internationally for the U.S. National Team at the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China, where she placed eighth in the semifinals of the 1500m.
 
As a senior at Fordham, Gallagher won two events and set two Atlantic 10 indoor meet records in 2010-2011. She won the 1000m and mile to earn First Team All-Conference honors in each and set meet records in both. Her winning time in the mile run of 4:48.60 broke the old conference mark of 4:49.71 set by La Salle's Toniann Razzi in 2000 while her time in the 1000m of 2:51.43 snapped the 2006 A-10 record of 2:52.79, held by La Salle's Elizabeth Geiger. Gallagher also won the 800m at the 2011 Metropolitan Championship, breaking her own school record and qualified for the ECAC Championship in the 800m, 1000m and mile.
 
In the spring of 2011, Gallagher won the 1500m at the Raleigh Relays with one of the top women's 1500m times in the country that year (4:26.34), the second fastest women's 1500m time Fordham history. She also won the 800m and the 1500m at the 2011 Metropolitan Championships and placed second in the 1500m at the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Championships.
 
Gallagher won the 2011 Claire and Jack Hobbs Award at the Block F Dinner as the most outstanding female athlete at Fordham.
 
As a junior in 2009-2010, Gallagher placed second in the 1000m at the 2010 ECAC Indoor Track Championships to earn All-East honors. Her time of 2:47.86 was the second fastest indoor 1000m time for a Ram, second only to fellow Fordham Athletic Hall of Famer Lauren Gubicza’s “untouchable” record of 2:45.8 set in 1992. The time was also among the top 40 1000m times in the NCAA that season.
 
Gallagher also won the 2010 Atlantic 10 1000m title at the Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships to earn First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors and took second in the mile to earn Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors.
 
Gallagher was also named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team in 2010 and 2011.
