John Fry was a five-time NJCAA track and field national champion and COD’s first individual cross country national champion. As a freshman in 2005, the Elmhurst native won the NJCAA 5,000 and 10,000 meters and placed second in the 1,500. That fall, he won the cross-country title, and as a sophomore on the track, repeated in the 5,000 and 10,000 and added the 3,000-meter steeplechase for his fifth individual track title. He was a seven-time track and field All-American, a two-time NJCAA athlete of the meet, and helped COD to the team title in 2006. He remains the school record holder in the 10,000 m and was named to the NJCAA Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2013.
