Coach Bob Ivory '47 helped establish Cross Country as a regional and national powerhouse during his decades of coaching at St. Joe's. A member of both the St. Joe's Sports Hall of Fame and the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame, Coach Ivory helped lay the framework for the running program at St. Joe's and influenced countless young men during his storied career.

It is in this spirit that the Alumni Association proudly presents the 44th Annual Bob Ivory Run & After Party.
