For 46 seasons, Dan Doherty was the sometimes loved, sometimes hated, but always much-respected coach.

Now, the title belongs to Sheri Felestein Dempsey, a former Nanuet High star, who, first as a high school athlete and then as a coach, helped end two amazing records Doherty's teams owned.

Doherty gained legendary status winning eight state public school cross-country championships (his teams were runner-up 15 times), won two state Federation (all sizes of public and private schools) titles, and, overall, won a remarkable 639 meets.

That includes the 341 dual meets Pearl River won against only five losses.

Those numbers would have been 342-4 if not for Dempsey, who was part of the Nanuet 1990 team that edged Pearl River by a single point to end what was an unfathomable streak of 86 straight dual meet wins.
