JOSEPH P. FOX

(1911-1990)

 

            On April 4th, 1990 Fordham Prep and the Catholic High Schools Athletic Association lost one of its own legends with the passing of Mr. Joseph Fox – longtime CHSAA chairman, Prep teacher, and Prep Track Coach from 1945-1965.  The power and prestige currently enjoyed by the CHSAA and the rich tradition of Fordham Prep Track are largely due to the selfless efforts of Mr. Fox.  For over four decades, his influence touched many.  As one eulogist put it:  “Any runner, any coach, any official who participates in CHSAA track has a little bit of Joe Fox in him.”  Thanks, Joe.

 

            The Fordham Prep Track Team will dedicate the remainder of the 1990 season to the memory of Mr. Fox.
