Individually, high jumper David Fajoyomi become Fordham's first NCAA Championship participant since 2009, where he earned Second Team All-America honors after tying for 15th overall. It was the last award of many for Fajoyomi, as he was the Atlantic 10 champion in the high jump for both the indoor and outdoor seasons, while breaking school records for the indoor high jump and indoor 200 meter dash. A total of seven school records fell during the 2013-14 campaign, three of which were taken down by Titi Fagade in the 200, 500, and 800 meter indoor events.

Previously, Dewey saw the continued success of his squads as the men’s outdoor team captured the 2013 Metropolitan Championship, the Rams’ the third Met title over the past six years.

4x800 relay won for the fourth straight year), while Sean Atkinson (500m) and Saad (3000m) each took second to earn Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors.

Athletic Facilities

Fordham University’s Jack Coffey Field took on a new look for the 2005 season as the playing surface was replaced with FieldTurfTM, one of the top artificial surfaces in the world. This project was part of a three-prong effort to improve all athletic fields at Fordham. The first step to the project was the resurfacing of the Murphy Field Complex which was completed in the summer of 2004. This facility serves as the home to the Fordham varsity softball team (Bahoshy Softball Field) as well as the practice facility for the football Rams and hosted the 2005 , 2009, and 2014 Atlantic 10 Softball Championship Tournaments. Murphy Field is also highly utilized by Fordham’s intramural, club sports and recreational programs. The second prong is the Jack Coffey Field project which commenced on November 29th with the removal of the existing natural grass surface. Before the new playing surface was installed, a new drainage system was put in place. The new fields feature FieldTurfTM for both the football and baseball fields along with new lights, a new scoreboard, new baseball dugouts and a new grandstand for baseball. In addition to hosting the football and baseball Rams, the newly surfaced Jack Coffey Field will also host the men’s and women’s soccer teams and be available for the

intramural and club sports programs. The third prong of the field renovation project was the resurfacing of the Fordham Prep field. This field also received a FieldTurfTM playing surface along with lights and a synthetic running track. The field will be utilized by Fordham Prep during the day and will be available to Fordham University intramural, club sports and recreational programs at night. FieldTurfTM is a privately held company that holds worldwide patents on its products and methods of installation. It is currently used by a host of National Football League teams, including the New York Jets and Giants at the New Jersey Meadowlands, as well as by numerous collegiate teams, including the University of Nebraska, the University of Washington and the University of Oregon. In 2012, a new state-of-the-art, full color, video scoreboard from Daktronics was installed. The new scorebaord allows for live video to be played, along with the ability to pull live statistics. In summer 2014, the entire playing surface of Jack Coffey Field was re-done with FieldTurfTM, while individual chairback seating was added to sections 6-10 of the grandstand, as well as a new public address sound system.
