Staten Island running community loses a legend, friend with passing of George Kochman
Staten Island’s track and field and road racing community lost a legend Friday when George Kochman died in Maryland after a short illness. Kochman had been a track and field reporter for the Advance since 1987 after a superlative track coaching career that started at St. Joseph’s HS in Metuchen, New Jersey in 1963 before moving on to Monsignor Farrell. He was the Lions’ head coach from 1968 to 1980. His teams won 32 Staten Island titles and he established Farrell as a powerhouse in the sport, not just in the city but nationally.
