George Fisher ’74, former member of the Manhattan College golf team and resident of Upland, Calif., was inducted into the Manhattan College Athletic Hall of Fame at its 34th annual ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 10 in Smith Auditorium. In addition to Fisher, seven other inductees were also honored at the event, which is sponsored by the Manhattan College Alumni Society.
As a Jasper, Fisher’s round of 68 remained an unbroken school record until 2009. Senior year, Fisher shot the lowest Jasper score of 80 at the ECAC Tournament and the lowest score among Jaspers at the Metropolitan Golf Association Tournament. For the third year in a row, he was named Most Outstanding College Performer, and was also named an Outstanding College Athlete in America for three years.
Still dedicated to the College, Fisher has created a scholarship through State Farm Insurance Company, where he has worked for 25 years, and was instrumental in creating the State Farm College Open.
