"The Feet that Repeat"
Fordham Prep won the NY Sectional Cross Country four times: 1959, 1997, 1998 and 2002--making us the defending Champions. In addition, the Prep has won 2 CHSAA City Championships, in 1958 and 1959. Last year (2002) the team finished 3rd at the Cities, with a 5-man team average of 13:40, second only to the 1973 team's 13:35 average.

The Prep competes in the Catholic High Schools Athletic Association (CHSAA). A sub-unit of the CHSAA is the New York Archdiocesan League (NYCHSAA). Below are the teams in our leagues.

The Sectional Championships will be held on Oct. 30th at VCP. The Prep won in 1997 & 1998, and again in 2002. We look to regain that title this year, despite predictions we're not what we used to be. Prove the critics wrong!

The Cities will be held on Nov. 13th at VCP. The top 4 teams at the Cities get automatic berths at the State Federation Championships, and 5th place gets a probable berth. Let's get to States!
