From Hall of Honor press release dated Dec. 10, 2020:

Dan Furry is among the best distance runners in the history of Wittenberg’s men’s cross country and track and field programs. He earned 12 letters – four each in cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field – as the team leader in distance events. Furry earned a pair of All-Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) awards in cross country after finishing fourth in 1985 and fifth in 1986, and he qualified for the Great Lakes Regional meet in each of his four seasons. A three-time team MVP in cross country, Furry also served as team captain and led the Tigers to a program-best second-place finish in the 1986 league championship meet. On the track, Furry set school records for the 1500-meter and 5000-meter outdoor track events, and he earned All-OAC at the 1986 indoor championships after placing second in the 1500-meter run. A native of Charleston, WV, Furry currently resides in White Plains, NY, where he coaches high school track and field.
