Returned from a three-year Army commitment to become key cog in many of Manhattan relays, particularly in the mile relay, where he was a part of no less than 10 championship relays teams. In 1946 Gorman helped the Jaspers to a Penn Relays Championship of America title in the distance medley. In 1947, he ran on two AAU National Championship relays in one night, taking home the gold in the sprint medley as well as the mile relay at Madison Square Garden. Gorman was also a member of the 880 yard relay that won the Penn Relays Championship of America in 1948, the first time Manhattan College had ever won a sprint relay at this prestigious meet.
