Cross Country Newsletter `91                                                  November 16, 1991

           

            In a spectacular finale to a spectacular season, the Fordham Cross Country team took to the hills of Bowdoin State Park for the NY State Championship. Claiming the ranking of #22 in the State, this team has much to be proud of, and many to thank. Namely, Assistant Coach Mr. Pat Dormer, and Captain Mike Fink and Gerry Sullivan were monumental in their leadership of one of Fordham’s best teams in history.

XC Notes

-         Not overlooking the action back at Van Cortland, some season-ending performances merit the final MIP- Sophs John Fitzpatrick and Chris Ketcham got the job done. Also mega-PRs were seen from the likes of Gomprecht, Purekal and Luke.

-         Seven medals were collected this Saturday to conclude the season on a record setting note. 220 medals is the new Prep XC record.
