One of the most decorated athletes in Fisher history, Girardi returned to campus after being hired in August 2018 as an assistant coach specializing sprint events.
A six-time All-American on the track, Girardi, who was named First-Team Academic All-American, joined an elite list as the Cicero native became just the third national champion in the College's history after winning the 400 meter hurdles at the 2018 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Girardi, who had finished as the national runner-up in the same event in each of the two previous seasons, shattered his program record after crossing the finish line with a winning time of 50.50. His mark was the fifth-fastest time ever recorded in the event in Division III history and qualified the senior for the US National Meet.
A biology major, Girardi played a significant role in helping lead Fisher to a pair of championships in 2018 as the Cardinals won the both the Empire 8 Indoor and Outdoor titles with Girardi being named the Track Athlete of the Meet in each.
Girardi closed out his career having been named the Empire 8 Track Athlete of the Year three times and was named All-Conference nine times in total.
Girardi graduated from Cicero-North Syracuse High School in 2014 and currently works as a Research Technician at the University of Rochester School of Medicine.Â
