In his 30th season as assistant to Coach Dewey, Vince Forte has come to specialize in the middle distance events. Under Forte's instruction, the Fordham squad has consistently qualified for the IC4A and ECAC middle distance events. Last year, Melissa Salerno earned Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors in both the 800m and 1500m at the outdoor championship while the men's 4x800 relay took Second Team All-Conference accolades during the indoor season. In 2007-08, Salerno took home Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors in the 1000m while in 2006-07, the men's indoor 4x800 relay won the Atlantic 10 title. At the 1995-96 Block "F" Awards Dinner, Forte was honored with the Jack Coffey Award for his dedication and service to Fordham athletics. He was also inducted into the Fordham Hall of Fame in 1999. While an athlete at Fordham from 1977-81, he served as a team captain and set the school record for the 500 meter and 600 yard runs. In the spring of 2002, Forte received the Hughes Award from Fordham University in recognition of his 20+ years of service to the university. |
