The Hunter College Athletic Community stands together as a team in support of Coach Ed Zarowin who has been relieved of his Cross Country and Track & Field Head Coach duties. Coach Z is a decorated NCAA coach. He has coached more champions than any other coach in CUNYAC’s history. The knowledge he imparts on student-athletes is unmeasurable. Coach Z not only coaches athletes, but he develops adults who are taught a work ethic that leads to success post college. He has dedicated and sacrificed his efforts and time to coach the sports he loves for over thirty years at Hunter College. Relieving him as Head Coach of Hunter College’s XC and Track and Field Teams against his will is not only unjust, but a horrible reflection of the values of the City University of New York Athletic Conference. We ask that you correct this wrong and force the re-hiring of Coach Z.
Coach Z deserves and has earned the right to continue coaching the athletes of Hunter College as the Head Coach of Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field. The signatures below are all in support of this action to rehire Coach Ed Zarowin. Thank you.

The administration at Hunter College is hiding behind closed doors while they ignore the legacy of a man who built this program from nothing. Their silence is a pathetic attempt to wait us out but they clearly do not understand that we are not going anywhere until Coach Z is back where he belongs.

The administration at Hunter College is finally starting to feel the heat because of your refusal to stay silent. Keep this energy up because we are not backing down until Coach Z gets his job back.

My 2 years (1971 and 1972) under coach Z has influenced my life everyday. There is not a day that goes by that some will I have to summon goes back to him. He also helped me out when I was being subjected to anti religious taunts from other students.
I am in full support of Coach Z he was a father figure to me and countless others. His passion and love for the sport and more importantly; the young men and women under his care is immeasurable. God Bless Coach Z and I hope Hunter Colleges reconsiders their decision.
Coach Z was a great coach and an inspiration to many of the athletes at Hunter. He's put in a lot of time and energy into the track & field program and is well known for his achievements. He should be allowed to retire on his own terms.
As a member of the 1993 Academic All-American X-Country team I find this disgraceful. Coach Z has had numerous awards and all Americans over the years. Despicable!
I am proud to be a Hunter College T&F Hawk. Coach Z is a great man and has done so much for young adults through the sport of track and field. He is the reason 30 years of Hunter College T&F alumni remain connected to the university. The involuntary exit initiated by the AD is a disgrace to the Hall of Fame coach and his legacy. Keep Coach Z!!!
I greatly respect you. You let me belong to a group of hard working guys and gain lasting memories. Brooklyn Tech 1972 and 73
Let coach Z finish when he's ready .He's earned that right

Best coach, not just train us to be better athletes but also. He taught us how to be more dedicated in life and strive for better. Most of teammates became lawyers, nurses. He is amazing human being.The ccollege will lose a lot by firing him.
