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.
