Bronx, N.Y. – (May 19, 2021) - As the Atlantic 10 Conference celebrates its 45th anniversary, this season also marks a special occasion for Fordham Athletics, marking the 25th anniversary of joining the Atlantic 10.
 
Fordham has seen some outstanding student-athletes come through the Rose Hill gates over the last 25 years, and to mark that window in history, the Rams will be announcing 25th anniversary teams of each Atlantic 10 sponsored sport.  In deciding those teams, Fordham fans will vote on who the best of the best over the last 25 years is on FordhamSports.com.
 
Next up in our track & field vote is the hurdlers!  Vote for THREE, as the vote will last until Friday.
