Thomas L. Sirois, Class of 1972, has been elected to the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in football and, to a greater degree, track and field. Sirois earned national acclaim in the weight events, hurling the Irwin Cohen-led Huskies to regional, ea~tern, and national acclaim with back­ to-hack IC4A titles in the 35-pound weight. He stands as the only NU Paul McDougall track athlete to win the IC4A title in that event twice, including Hall of Farner Boris "Dov" Djcrassi. I Je threw the weight 60-9 l/4 feet to capture the title in Madison Square Garden in 1970, and 62-8 l/4 to defend at Princeton in 1971.IIc followed up the 1970 title with a University-record heave of 64-8 1/2 to finish third in the NCAA's. Under the tutelage of Husky Hall of Famers Dill Corsetti and Joe Donahue, his weight coach for all three varsity seasons, Sirois managed to sandwich highly successful indoor and outdoor campaigns around three seasons of football as a fullback and middle guard. In track, Sirois reached a lofty level throwing the hammer, weight, and shot put for the Huskies. I Ie was one of the first weight events performers to earn world class status, specializing in the 35-pound weight, but producing consistent team points in the shot put and hammer. In the classroom, he was a perennial Dean's List student. At5' 11,210 pounds, Sirois outperformed much bulkier weight events athletes. His athleticism nourished in overindulgence, too, as a steady menu of football and track competed for his attentions. Recruited by the legendary Joe Zabilski, Sirois arrived on Huntington James Moxley Avenue a~ the State Class C shot put champion on a football scholarship out of North Andover 1Iigh School. In football, he survived freshman season to become Joe Cumm's understudy at fullback, a position he would play until his senior year when he switched to middle guard on defense. However, academics­ followeu closely by track and field - remained his collegiate staple and his impetus for upward mobility. TI1e weight events began to blossom for Sirois as a junior, when indoors he won the IC4A 35-pound weight title and qualitied for the NCAA's, where he finished sixth at Detroit's Cobo Arena. Outdoors, he mimicked an All-New England and All-America indoor season with the hammer at his side. Touted for a spot on the 1972 Olympic team, Sirois opted to pursue a career in business witl1 his Northeast em degree in tow; in 1975, he joined a Stop & Shop corporate ladder headed by some of his biggest fans­ Northeastern alum.~ Bernard Solomon and Albert fragcr.
