  THE JIM SCOTT 2 MILE RUN CHALLENGE

 Jim Scott, Fordham Prep Class of '44, coached Xavier High School Track and Cross Country from 1957 through 1993, overseeing some of the best years in the sport not only for Xavier High School but also for the Catholic High Schools and the City of New York.  Along with longtime friend Joe Fox '29 (for whom the Fordham Prep Track is named), Jim organized weekly two-mile runs for his runners as a way to prepare them for the tough championship races later in the season.  The Jim Scott 2 mile challenge was inaugurated in 1993 to commemorate Jim's retirement and honor his tried and true coaching methods.
