Tale of two teams......It was 1968, and the Joe Fox-created New York Relays went head-to-head with the Penn Relays, and got great races, and great press at Randall's Island.  Fordham Prep had an emerging mile relay that won an exciting race on the old cinder track at Downing Stadium.  The anchor was a sophomore sprinter named John Hallinan who held off the charges of at least 3 experienced quarter milers.  Although appearing to "crumble" as he charged down the stretch, John held on to win, perhaps fearing the icy stare of captain Joe Schaller.  John was forever known as "cookie man" for his near-crumble.    John went on to set the still-standing Prep 200 meter record, serve on the still standing school and State Catholic mile relay record, have a stellar career as a sprinter at Georgetown U., and be inducted into the Prep Track and Field Hall of Fame.   Check out the 1st Hand Accounts - other photos

The Prep got rolling this weekend with a fine 2nd place performance at the mammoth Mayor's Cup Meet.  Bruce Grant got things underway with a soph school record in the High Hurdles, taking 4th in the event.  Seniors Dan Altenau raced to two of the fastest early-season times in the 3000m Steeplechase, and Jourdan White took a familiar gold in the high jump.  On day two, the 4x100 meter relay surprised by making the finals in a fast 45.06, and the 4x800 surprised no one with their 8:03.98 first place.   The vaulters rode their Texas tailwind to a dominant day, taking an amazing 9 of the top 11 places, including gold medallist John Horvath and silver medallist soph Tom Ferguson.  The throwers saw a plethora of PRs,  so overall a great day.

Thank You

    From Coach Febles:  I'd like to thank the alumni, students, faculty, friends and parents that made Saturday's Hall of Fame Induction such a moving and humbling tribute.   It was a testament to the special people that make up the Prep community that the night was as enjoyable as it was.  I will always appreciate the efforts made by so many to attend the event, and the kind  remarks made all evening.  Again, thank you.......

Field Men Rising........
  Are the field events, ably coached by Messrs. Carney, Phipps and M. Febles making a play to reverse the order of "Track and Field"?   Despite great performances on the track, including wins in the Varsity 4x200 relay and DMR, it was the vaulters, throwers and jumpers that put the exclamation point on 2007 as that year came to a close.  Varsity wins in the Vault (James Schindler, 12'6") and Long Jump (Andrew Hemmings 20'3"), and increasing dominance in the shot put (Brian Seminario 48'9", John Annunziata 44' and Ryan Lyver 43'9"), may just be giving the face of Fordham Prep Track a Championship makeover for '08..........Happy New Year!

Jourdan White's name and "marathon" are an odd couple, but 15 jumps, by virtue of a jump-off, is certainly Pheidippean for a vertical leaper.   The 4x800 logged a fine 8:10 to take 3rd at the biggest meet in the nation.   Great efforts, many PRs, from throwers, vaulters and hurdlers.

Congrats on an historic meet and season. 11/17:  Jesuits - VCP And speaking of history.....the last runner to crack the All-Time Freshman list on his first try went on to become the best XC runner in Prep history.  Saturday, Mike McNamara ran his first race since his "Classic Run" victory, and placed 2nd at the Jesuits in 9:24--the same time Rey Mendez ran in his first race in 1989.  Rey went on to rewrite the Prep record book.   Astride soph Tom Jennings' 14:20 PR, the future looks bright.......
