Corry ran the lead leg of the Manhattan two mile relay team that set the world indoor record in 1961, running 7:32.8 on a 11-lap to the mile track, and later setting the two mile relay record on a 12-lap track.  The consummate leadoff man, he ran the first leg on team that won an amazing 15 of 17 races during his varsity tenure, while setting the above mentioned two world records in addition to a Canadian National Record and five meet records.  A walk-on that earned a scholarship following his freshman campaign, Corry was the recipient of the Manhattan College Spiked Shoe Club Achievement as a junior, and was referred to by legendary Manhattan coach George Eastment as "the best leadoff runner in the country".
