Ralph St. Pierre, a 1941 Fordham College graduate and world record setter, holds the oldest school record in Fordham men's track and field history.
 
As the lead-off man on the Fordham 1600-meter relay in 1939, he teamed with Wesley Wallace, Frank Slater and George Leary to break the National AAU indoor record. The four runners also joined forces to set the world record in the one-mile relay that same year at Dartmouth College as well as setting the track record at the Boston Garden.
 
In 1939, St. Pierre set the Fordham indoor and outdoor long jump record, leaping 23' 1" indoors and 24' 1.875" outdoors, setting the stadium long jump record at West Point. Both those Fordham records still stand today, the longest standing track and field marks at Fordham.
 
St. Pierre was a Metropolitan Intercollegiate Conference champion and record holder in the long jump, and he led the team in scoring at all dual and intercollegiate track meets.
 
Following graduation, St. Pierre went on to win three Adirondack AAU long jump titles, the last at age 28.
