In addition to running at Moore Catholic HS high school, Jim has
coached track and field at a the same school for over 20 years. However, his
finest contribution was made to Staten Island overall as coordinator for all
Island cross country and track and field on Staten Island and as meet director
of the three annual Staten Island High School Championship meets.
Simultaneous
to this he continues his 20-year self imposed assignment as coordinator of the
CYO cross-country and track and field league. Countless numbers of youngsters
on Staten Island would not have competed in the sport either at the youth level,
high school, college and beyond without the efforts of Jim Hughes.
