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.
