Marty McGowan sent along this photo from 1972, when he believes it is the first time the phrase "Running Red Foxes" appeared on a Marist XC uniform. Here is what Marty wrote to me today:
"We've been cleaning around the house and I found this old picture in the attic, and thought you guys would get a kick out of it: 1972 was the first X-C season that Rich Stevens coached. I'm not sure, but I think it's the first time "Running Red Foxes" appeared on the uniforms. I know some of the X-C articles are still on The Circle archives. Anyway, from the top it's: Mike Duffy, Jay Doyle, Tony Wilger, Bob Nelson, Dan Flynn, the manager. Bottom row Mark Herterella, Bob Salomone, me, and Jim McCasland. Bob Salomone and I were co-captains again that year."
Once again, thanks to Billy for the download assistance.
Great nostalgia photo. Thanks for sharing. Since the plea for alum help I have starting following this blog more closely. Is the current generation of Running Red Foxes up to date on the lore of "Girder Pete"?
