Spring Track Newsletter                                                           March 21, 1992

 

            To open a promising 1992 Outdoor Track Season, Fordham competed in the 14th annual Manhattan college Relays, where they won 4 gold medals to “kick off” Spring.  Unfortunately, Spring was not as kind to us, as the majority of the Prep runners could not compete due to heavy snows that canceled the outdoor season opener.

Track Notes

- The Most Improved Performance (MIP) Award is chosen weekly to honor the athlete that has made significant improvement in his particular event(s).  The season-opening MIP goes to the same runner this year as last year’s inaugural outdoor winner.  Senior John Keane ran a superb 400 to record the 5th fastest time for a Prepster this year.  Nice work, Juan.
