Nobody has had a busier year than Lehman College cross country and track and field Head Coach Lesleigh Hogg. His hard work paid off not only when he guided three of his six teams to CUNYAC championships, but also when he named men’s outdoor track and field Coach of the Year following the conclusion of the outdoor season.
The fact that Hogg coaches six sports at Lehman means that there is never an offseason for the successful skipper. Since his arrival at the institution in 1996, his teams have won a combined 14 championships. Simple math brings fans to the conclusion that Hogg has averaged winning at least one championship per academic year since his arrival, an accomplishment that is truly remarkable.

Earlier this afternoon, the Lehman College athletic department held its first Hall of Fame induction ceremony since 2005. The ceremony took place at the Thomas Hunter Lounge (Room 330, Music Building) and saw six members get inducted into the Hall of Fame, Dr. Lorenzo Gonzalez (Men’s Basketball, 1989-1993), Dr. Harvey Perlow (Basketball & Track and Field, 1969-1971), Jonathan Rojas (Men’s Basketball, 1999-2004), Ivelisse Rosario (Women’s Basketball, 1998-2002), Desirae Ross (Women’s Basketball, 1998-2002), and Freddy Sanchez (Swimming & Water Polo, 1996-2000). Sports Information Director Stephen Spagnoli read each inductee’s plaque, with each one then receiving their plaques from the Director of Athletics Dr. Martin L. Zwiren and President Ricardo Fernandez. All inductees then spoke about how special it was to be distinguished as Hall of Famers.
Dr. Lorenzo Gonzalez was the first member to be inducted on the afternoon. Gonzalez, a member of the men’s basketball team from 1989-1993, accomplished a great deal during his tenure at Lehman. Perhaps his greatest achievements came in his final year as a member of the Lightning, in 1993, when he earned the men’s basketball MVP award and was distinguished as the Lehman College Athlete of the Year in 1993. He also earned the college’s Scholar-Athlete distinction all four years that he was at Lehman. He graduated from the institution with a Masters in Sports Medicine and then later completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Miami School of Medicine. Today, he is considered one of the top physical therapists in the United States.
