The Vialonga Sports Performance Center is named in honor of Chris Vialonga, a 1993 graduate and standout lineman for Susquehanna. Chris tragically lost his life in the September 11th terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, where he worked as a currency trader for Carr Futures. In 2015, SU hired its first strength and conditioning coach to address a longstanding competitive need. With the enthusiastic encouragement from Chris' friends, teammates and "brothers," funds were raised to renovate and expand the existing weight room in his honor, giving current and future athletes the competitive edge that comes from superior training and conditioning. The space was dedicated on September 10th, 2016.
