XC Notes

-          The Catholic High Schools Athletic Association has traditionally produced some of the best cross country runners in the United States – making it one of the most competitive leagues I n the country. Fordham Prep is proud to boast of six CHSAA City Champions, of which Captain Reynaldo Mendez is the latest. Congratulations on this historic achievement.

-          A special note must go out to the Freshman squad, which dominated the field of the Independent Schools Championships by winning with a miniscule 20 points and capturing 8 of the 15 available medals. Dan Dengler continues to establish himself as a premier harrier by taking home the individual title.

-         Now, to the matter of MIP. Junior sprinter Ashley Saunders has paid his dues during a tough cross country season. This Saturday was payoff time as Ash hit a 45 second PR.
