Fairfax, Va. – (May 4, 2025) – The Fordham men’s track & field team finished in a tie for fifth place at the 2025 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship, held at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
 

The Rams finished with a score of 62 points along with Duquesne.  It is Fordham’s highest point total at the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Track & Field Championship since 2019.
 
Fordham had plenty of highlights on Sunday, none bigger than Njam Abdul-Latif being named the Atlantic 10 Most Outstanding Track Performer of the Championship, as well as earning the Most Outstanding Rookie Performer.  He is only the second person to capture both awards, joining Darius Law of Charlotte in 2008.
 
Abdul-Latif kicked off his day by anchoring the 4×100 relay to a fourth place finish with Dakota Strain, Matthew Nurse, and Liam Volz in a time of 41.48 seconds.  He then earned Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors by picking up the silver medal in the 100-meter dash at 10.51 seconds.  He ended the day by winning the 200-meter dash event in 21.17 seconds.
 
The parade of podium finishes continued with the 1,500-meter final, where the trio of Rodolfo Sanchez, Nathan Bezuneh, and Sean Reidy all scored points for the Rams.  Sanchez took Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors and the silver medal in 3:49.55, with Bezuneh taking the bronze for third at 3:49.81 and Reidy in fourth at 3:50.03.
 
Ben Borchers continued the scoring for Fordham in the 800-meter final, placing eighth in 1:56.26.
 
Each of those runners, Sanchez, Borchers, Reidy, and Bezuneh, later returned to the track in the 4×800 relay, taking the bronze medal and a third place finish in 7:32.10.  The 4×400 relay also scored for the Rams, as Kevin Callaghan, Nelson Lindsay, Matthew Nurse, and Sam Freeman placed fifth in 3:12.96.
 
The final Fordham scorer for the Championship was George Pomer in the decathlon, finishing seventh with a score of 5,858 points.  On day two, he was second in the 1,500 meters (4;39.08), seventh in the 110-meter hurdles (16.37) and pole vault (11′ 3 ¾”), and eighth in the discus throw (93′ 0″) and javelin throw (129′ 3″).
 
The last events with Fordham competitors were the 5,000-meter run and the triple jump.  Luke Cramer was 15^th in the triple jump with a mark of 42′ 2 ¾”, while Matthew Mason was the top Ram in the 5,000 meters in 18^th place at 14:48.57.
 
The Rams will now prepare for the IC4A Championship, May 17-18, which is back in Fairfax, Virginia at George Mason University.

Two Blue Jays were crowned conference champions: sophomore Sebastian Tangelson in the decathlon and junior Connor Oiler in the 3000-meter steeplechase.
 
Tangelson built on his dominant day-one lead with a commanding performance on Saturday, securing the decathlon title with 6,436 points—the fourth-highest total in program history.
