FACILITIES Judges Elaine McMichael - ZC797 - Crestview, FL I have been an ASFA judge since 1986 and have been active in ASFA coursing since I also began judging in AKC lure coursing when it 1st began in I am an RN and have been actively working since Currently I am a home infusion nurse, which allows me the freedom to be in charge of my schedule and be flexible to travel more. Sean & I have been married for over 35 years and coursing has been a large part of our family life since we started, we began coursing in I have travelled throughout the US and parts of Canada to judge over the years and have friends in many states. I can t imagine how boring our life would be with out the dogs, travelling and the trials & shows we attend. We have 2 children-melody age 30 & Ryan age 16. Melody went to her 1 st practice at age 6 days, 1st field trial at 4 wks & her 1 st II at 8 wks. Ryan has been assisting at field trials from his playpen when he was 4 wks old & continues to help newbies as well as others needing an extra hand! We have been breeding whippets under our kennel name Finghin since 1990 but began coursing with our 2nd Irish Wolfhound Gus in (Molly our 1 st IW didn t see the point in chasing plastic) We got our 1st whippet from Mary Huff of Cogeshall whippets & were hooked on the breed. We have bred multiple LCM & FC whippets as well as dogs that were titled in conformation, obedience, agility, flat track racing and most recently in barnhunt. We believe in companions that are above all, family members. It is an honor to be asked to judge at this year s NLCC & I am looking forward to seeing all the talented dogs that will attend. - Elaine McMichael Richard Whritenour - Fort Plain, NY Richard J. Whritenour became involved in ASFA lure coursing in 1987, when he and wife Denise Como joined the Garden State Sighthound Association in central New Jersey (Denise had been involved in lure coursing since 1978, with her Wolfwind Borzois). Eventually becoming GSSA s primary lure operator, Richard ran the lure not only for trials but also for the many practices and lure coursing demonstrations held by the GSSA, as well as training new lure operators and other field personnel. He traveled to other clubs at their request to train their huntmasters and lure operators, as well as teach them how to use and maintain their equipment. Back in the day, GSSA held regular twice-monthly practices and participated in community events, all of which helped publicize lure coursing and the ASFA. In addition to the Borzois and NGA-bred Greyhounds, Richard obtained his first Whippet in the early 1990s, FC Grovenor's Nefer Virtue FCh, joined by FC Paris-Anahita Wednesday Adams FCh. Other Whippets followed, including Pfyre's Windkissed Willow WRCh, and Pfyre's Icy Timberline. Richard was past president of the Delaware Valley Pointer Club (owned Ch. Pandel Platinum Blonde and Whisperwind's Coco Chanel, AKC pointed), and supported the American Pointer Club Eastern Region. He was a member of the Borzoi Club of Central New Jersey. He held several Board positions in the GSSA, and was the club's treasurer for many years. He serves CLASS, Central Leatherstocking Area Sighthound Society, in the same capacity. An ASFA and AKC all-breed judge, Richard, formerly ASFA Region 9 Director, currently serves as the ASFA's 1st Vice President. He and Denise were proud recipients of the ASFA's Gary Forrester Award in In September, 2003, Richard and Denise relocated from New Jersey to a 90-acre farm in central upstate New York. They formed a new club, CLASS, in 2005, then began hosting lure coursing and straight racing events in 2006 for their club and others. The Borzois, Greyhounds, and Salukis have passed on, leaving Whippets to run the household.

Visit our website at: My first sighthounds were Irish Wolfhounds (IW). I had four and bred one litter of 9 pups. I began competing in the show ring, open field coursing, racing, and lure coursing in California with my first IW- Judah in 1995 through I ve trained and competed with my sighthounds in the open field coursing competitions for the past 21 years. Although I now live in North Carolina I still make it a point to travel out west with at least one of my Salukis to compete in open field competitions. I have also been training and competing with my sighthounds in lure coursing, racing, and showing for the past 20 years. Currently I own 9 Salukis ranging in ages 3 to 11 years. On August 15, 2016, I painfully had to let Thunder, my last Greyhound go to his resting place ( ). I apprenticed and earned my Open Field Coursing judge s license in 1997 followed by an ASFA lure coursing judge s license in I received my AKC lure coursing judge s license in I ve judged numerous open field and lure coursing trials with the special honor to judge breed specialty trials. I ve also had the honor of judging the NOFCA Grand Course Open Field Championship in 2000 and 2003, as well as, the NACA Whitetail Invitational in I m especially excited and honored to be selected to judge the 2016 AKC National Lure Coursing Championship. Good luck and good health to all the hounds and their handlers. - Kirby Overcash Gary Runyan - ZD513 - Sallisaw, OK I started ASFA coursing with borzoi on the island of Oahu. I moved to several different regions and broadened my understanding of the local groups. I was grandfathered into the akc judging program. I was elected for 5 years as ASFA region 7 director and 2 years currently in ASFA region 4 director and am listed in the lure coursing historical book with more trials and more hounds judged inside of a 5 year period. I have been awarded the ASFA lure op of the year. In the past I have held NLCC positions as: FTC, LO, HM and judge throughout the running of this premier event. I am honored to be part of the judging panel for this event. - Gary Runyan
