Hall of Fame
One of the top Hunter College sprinters during the early era of the track and field program, Friedman captained the indoor and outdoor teams for three seasons. By the time he graduated, he had set records in both the 100-yard dash (10.3 seconds) and 220 yards dash (22.4 seconds). In 1960, his junior year, he established an outdoor track record for most individual points scored in a season with 88.25. He also won championships in the 220-yards low hurdles at both the Municipal Conference and CTC Championships. In addition to his solo sprinting exploits, he was also a key member of the mile relay (4x400) squad throughout his years on the team and also ran cross country. Off the track, he served tenures as treasurer and president of the Hunter’s Men’s Athletic Association.
