Joe DiCamillo was a standout on the Alfred cross country and track teams for four seasons.
A member of AU teams that won three state cross country titles and two state track titles, DiCamillo was a two-time state track champ in the 880-yard run and twice competed in the NCAA cross country championships.
After graduating from AU in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in chemistry, DiCamillo was a high school chemistry teacher at Alfred-Almond Central School while working toward a master's in education at AU, which he received in 1965. He was guidance counselor at Gates-Chili High School near Rochester, NY, from 1965 until his retirement in 1996.
He stayed active in cross country after his collegiate career ended, coaching the AU varsity and freshman teams in 1961 and 1962 while completing graduate school. He later served as varsity cross country coach at Gates-Chili High School from 1970-80.
DiCamillo, who passed away in 2007, and his wife, Christine '62, resided in Rochester and had three daughters.
According to Carl Blanchard '60, a teammate of DiCamillo's on the AU cross country and track and field teams, "Joe loved long distance running. He was proud to run with outstanding athletes and to represent Alfred University."
