Joining the Fordham cross country and track & field coaching staff in MaryKathryn Underwood.

The 2024-25 season saw plenty of success for the Rams, both as a team and individually.  The Fordham men won their first ever indoor track & field Metropolitan Championship title and followed that by winning the outdoor Metropolitan title for the fourth time.  At the Atlantic 10 Championship, the men's team finished fourth at the indoor track & field championship, the team's best finish since 2018, while tying for fifth at the outdoor championship, which was the best finish since 2019.  The women's team had an eighth place finish at the indoor championship, which was their best performance since 2011.

Individually, Katarina Birimac had a superb season, finishing second at the Atlantic 10 Cross Country Championship to earn All-Conference honors, while winning the indoor 5,000 meters and the outdoor 10,000 meters for First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors.  On the men's side, the distance medley relay, Rodolfo Sanchez (mile), and Njam Abdul-Latif (60m & 200m) were all Atlantic 10 champions at the indoor meet with Abdul-Latif receiving the Most Outstanding Rookie Performer Award.  Abdul-Latif then duplicated that feat at the outdoor championship and added to it, capturing both the Most Outstanding Rookie Performer, as well as the Most Outstanding Track Performer Award, after winning the 200-meter dash and taking second in the 100 meters.  It was only the second time in conference history that an athlete took home both accolades.  Sanchez also earned All-Conference honors at the outdoor championship after placing second in the 1,500 meters.  The Rams also saw Abdul-Latif (indoor & outdoor) and Sara Labor (indoor) earn spots on the All-Rookie Team with Birimac (ITF, OTF), Sanchez (ITF, OTF), Ben Borchers (ITF), and Sean Reidy (ITF) garnering Academic All-Conference honors, as well as set 13 school records across the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Underwood put the finishing touches on a well-rounded running career at Fordham, where she ran from 2019-24 and served as a team captain.

A multiple-time Metropolitan champion for both indoor and outdoor track, Underwood was a consistent scorer at the Atlantic 10 Championship, finishing as high as fourth in the 4x800 relay (2022), while also in the 800 meters (2023).

She earned CSC Academic All-District honors during the 2023-24 season and was a five-year member of the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll. Additionally, she made the Dean's List on six occasions. Link to Underwood's player bio page
