An accident in the summer of 1969 nearly ended his running career at Iona, but his legacy was already established. The varsity records he broke included the mile relay anchor leg outdoors in the Metropolitan Mile Relay on Franklin Field at the Penn relays (47.4) - the relay team of Bode, Farrell, Jackomitz and Pascale was victorious that day; 600 yard indoors at the Yale Invitational (1:11.2 - still held to this day); and the 880 yard outdoors at the 1970 Quantico, VA Relays.

Ron was also a member of the Club Activities Board throughout his junior year. • Graduating in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, during an era where there were many political upheavals distracting Iona College students from athletics, Ron paced forward with the legacy and history that is, Iona College Cross Country / Track & Field.
