Sat 5/19 - CHSAA City Champs - Icahn Stadium  

Prep ties for 5th behind Jourdan's White's 2nd HJ City Championship of the Year, becoming the first soph to win both the Indoor and Outdoor HJ title in 49 years.   Jourdan also tossed in the best LJ by a Fordham soph in 61 years with his 21'0.25" bronze.

Vin Fata (l., photo by wingedfootfotos) ends the Sullivan/Pre spell and breaks Gerry's 15 year-old Steeplechase record with 9:46.73 bronze. 

 CHSAA medallists include Matt Keefer (400), Jon Bednarz (PV), Chris Palicka (HH), Wayne Seaton (400mIH), Andrew Hemmimgs (TJ),  and Harley Griffiths, Pat Hemsley, Mike Jennings and Zach Keefer in the 4x800m.

Frosh Kim, D'Agastino, Gray and Grant) break 45 year-old Freshman 4x100 Meter Relay record with 48.04 effort!  

Soph 4x100 & 4x800 both won by Prep squads!

Sub 5! Add Junior Chris Johnson to the club.

Where Were You in '62? 

Freshmen Bruce Grant, Frank D'Agastino, Mike Gray, Jay Kim and Coach Paul Collins '05 - the foursome broke the 45 year old Frosh 4x100m School record with a :48.04 clocking.  

Thought he'd never do it?  Senior Pat Hemsley hit 2:00.3 on December 9th and, mishap after unlucky mishap, was still chasing the elusive barrier until Saturday.  Official Febles split at right....

Pat now joins his own Economics research study....researching the qualities of the 35 runners who've broken 2 minutes for the 800 meters/880 yards over the years.  He is also part of the only father-son pair on the list!

The old record was set on the exact same day as today's effort! In addition to the longstanding record being set, May 19, 1962 was also the occasion of Marilyn Maonroe's somewhat embarrassing rendition of "Happy Birthday" to President JFK, and also the date Stan Musial passed Honus Wagner for the most hits ever in the National League!
In May of 1962: Mr. Gomprecht was not yet a Freshman at Fordham Prep!
