Shanahan, a 1987 Sachem alum, was a senior during Sachem's and Rutgers run, which Fusaro coached. That team celebrated its 25th anniversary this year during a ceremony at Fred Fusaro Alumni Stadium.
Shortly after retiring from Sachem in 2003, where he spent 32 years at the helm and won six county titles, Fusaro jumped on board with Shanahan at Glenn.
