Jim Scott 2 Mile Run Challenge - Meet History          
Team Champion Points Site   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 2 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 Run Challenge was inaugurated in 1993 to commemorate Jim's retirement and honor his tried and true coaching methods.   Jesuits schools Xavier, Regis and Fordham Prep compete in a "Cross Country 2 Mile run on the track", whereby cross country scoring is applied to the results of the Varsity 2 mile run.  JV and Freshman runners compete in a spirited Mile run as well.                                      

Jim Scott passed away on February 26, 2008, and countless alumni paid their respects at the wake and funeral mass at Xavier High School.  The Jim Scott Meet now becomes a Memorial event, so that the memory of this beloved coach, teacher, father and friend may be never forgotten.

Of additional interest to Fordham Prep fans is that the school record for this event (the 5x2 mile run) is 51:33 run in 1973.  That is, the times of the Prep’s top five finishers in the 2 mile run are added together to arrive at the cumulative time.  The current team will need to average about 10:18 per man to be able to break the record. 

Joe Fox Track
Newly installed, along with a state of the art turf field, in June 2005, the Joe Fox Track is the only Mondo track made specifically for a New York City High School.  Mondo is the highest quality synthetic track surface available, used at all Olympic Games since 1992, and at New York City's two premier track and Field facilities: The Armory Track and Field Center and Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island.  Many Prep alumni and parents contributed to this project and we wish to extend our thanks to all of them.

The track is 242 meters around; the 3200 meter run is 13 laps plus 54 meters, and the 1600 meter run is 6 and one half laps.   We will have splits called at 400m marks, and will have lap counters for both lead and lapped runners.  Spikes are allowed in races.

Scoring a Cross Country Meet:
Is simple.  Usually, a team is made up of 7 competitors.  In scoring, each team adds the finish places of their top 5 finishers.  Thus, the lowest score wins.  In case of a tie, the team with the lowest 6th place finisher wins. 7th place ( and lower, if a meet agrees to have unlimited team members) also plays an important role, as he might finish ahead of another team's 5th place finisher, thus increasing that team's score.
