Tori Pennings

Tori Pennings Cosimano, a 2008 graduate of Warwick Valley High School, is one of the most decorated distance runners in the school's history. As captain of the cross country and track teams, she earned three state titles in the 4x800m relay, 15 All-American honors and multiple national titles. She was part of the distance medley relay team that set a national record and led Warwick to an 11th-place finish at Nike Team Nationals, placing 14th individually. Tori was named Female Athlete of the Year in 2007 and 2008. 

After high school, Tori competed at Stanford University, where she was a two time Pac-10 finalist in the 1500m and captain of the 2011 cross country team. She continued her love of running beyond college, completing major marathons including Boston and New York City. Tori also returned to her roots as a coach, guiding Warwick’s girls distance runners and helping lead the 2019 4x400m relay team to a state title.

In addition to her impact on the track, Tori taught high school science for eight years, five of them at Warwick, and now helps run her family’s business, Pennings Farm Market & Cidery. She lives in Warwick with her husband Michael, daughter, Adeline and their dog, Walter.
