Throwback Thursday Photo: 1970s NYIT Track and Field Athlete
August 27, 2015
Today's photo dates to the 1970s and shows a soaring student-athlete doing the long jump. The former men's and women's track and field teams began their amazing legacy in 1974, making their way to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division II postseason and continuing to do so for the next 25 years.
Every Thursday, Social Media Strategist Brylee Kaye teams with The Box to share a retro photo for #TBT (aka Throwback Thursday), a popular hashtag campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
This content is part of The Box's "60 Years in 60 Days" series in celebration of NYIT's 60th anniversary in 2015.
