When Adrienne (McCollough) Hogan drives by Blue Hill Road in Pearl River, old memories rekindle.

It doesn’t matter that they're four-plus decades old.

“I’m still scared. I have flashbacks of Sunday-morning runs. 15-mile runs,” she said, laughing about a time that, while often not appreciated then, helped create the person she is today.

It’s funny how much impact good coaches can have.

And how those coaches can be a jumble of so many things.

Relentless. Demanding. Feared. Sometimes maybe even momentarily hated.

But also loved.

Dan Doherty, who has retired as Pearl River High School’s girls cross-country coach after 46 seasons, was all of the above – maybe all of the above written in caps in indelible ink.

A 1974 Pearl River High School graduate, Doherty was a student-teacher and fifth-year senior at Montclair State University when he was recruited to coach a season of Pearl River girls cross-country in 1978. That season morphed into the 46 seasons, plus more than 30 seasons of indoor and outdoor track and field.
