Cowan spent his summer vacations running around the West Coast, meeting Elvis Presley, Donna Reed and eating dinner with Desi Arnaz at the Brown Derby. (I'll bet he didn't even order the cobb salad.)

...bushwacked Harvard on the trails of Van Cortlandt last year en route to a 9-4 season, the best in the history of the school.
