The evening celebrated John “Buzz” Lawlor '67, one of only four Navy men's cross country runners to earn All-America honors. Lawlor reflected on his career and the lasting influence of legendary coach Al Cantello, whose leadership helped shape Navy distance running. Coaches and alumni also honored the program's tradition of excellence and its continued connection between generations of Midshipmen, with other alumni gathering planned for the spring Army-Navy outdoor track & field meet..
