Richard Furst
Camp Director
Five Star Cross Country Camp is directed by nine year camp director, Coach Rich Furst. Coach Furst brings his "attitude is everything" philosophy each year to camp. His Warwick Valley (NY) High School Girl Harriers have won 14 Orange County championships, including a streak of 11 in a row. He has coached five NY State cross country champions, five Footlocker qualifiers and one Footlocker national champion. Since 2015 his Goshen teams have earned All-American honors at 2000m steeple chase middle school mile, All Canada 400m and have meddled in consecutive years in the Millrose HS girls 3200m relay. Coach Furst is also to be inducted into the New York Section IX.
Furst has coached 37 All-Americans and nine national track champions. Footlocker National 2004 Champion Aislinn Ryan posted indoor times of 9:36.26 (3,000), 10:25.63 (2-mile), and 4:49.82 (mile). Outdoors, Ryan ran 9:38.62 (3,000) and 10:16.85 (2-mile). Without Ryan, WV set a national Distance Medley record while also winning the 4x800 at the 2008 Nike Outdoor Nationals with a time of 11:31.81 and was voted team of the decade by ESPN and Dyestat.com
"When everyone dedicates their best for their team," says Furst, "they help to create something that is bigger than themselves and everyone prospers."
