Kristal Kostiew Yush
pursues her Olympic dream
Kristal Kostiew Yush graduated from Coe-Brown Northwood
Academy in 2000. She went on to pursue a degree at the University
of Vermont, where she began competing in hammer throw. While
at Vermont she collected 14 America East Championships and was
a four-time Vermont team MVP, as well as four-time America East
Field Performer of the Year. In 2004 she was the America East Scholar
Athlete of the Year and an Academic All American. She married
Derek Yush in July 2005 and they currently reside in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana.
Kristal qualified for her first USA team in 2007 by finishing second
at the USA Outdoor Championships. By winning a silver medal
at the national championship, Kristal earned the right to represent
the United States at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in
July, where she took fourth place, as well as at the 2007 IAAF World
Championship in Athletics in Osaka, Japan, in August. Kristal has
now set her sights on the upcoming Olympic trials and the 2008
Summer Games in Beijing, China.
How did you begin participating in hammer throw?
I began as a freshman at the University of Vermont. My coach,
Ed Kusiak, introduced me to the hammer to help score more points
for the team at the conference meet. I went into college as a good
discus, javelin and shot putter with marks that were competitive
in the America East Conference. I believe I finished third in the
conference as a freshman with a high mark of 152’ and things just
got better from there.
As a sophomore I broke the UVM school record (formerly held
by Olympian Anna Norgren) with a best mark of 182. In my junior
year I became more competitive in the NCAA region throwing 188,
and as a senior finished ninth in the region with a best mark of 191
feet, seven inches. While at UVM I also set the indoor and outdoor
shot put records as well as the indoor 20-pound weight throw record
for UVM and the America East conference.
Exactly what is the hammer throw?
The hammer I throw is not the one that people typically
imagine when I tell them what I do. It is not your traditional
hammer used to drive nails at a construction site. It is actually an
event that derived from the Scottish Highland Games and modified
for track and field. The hammer implement itself is a 4kg (8.8 lbs.
for women, 16 lbs. for men) steel ball on a swivel. The swivel is
attached to a wire and the wire is attached to a handle. The whole
system is just under four feet long. The thrower enters into a 7’2”
ring and must complete a series of winds (typically 2 or 3) where
they remain stationary at the back of the circle (back to the direction
of throw). After these winds/swings the thrower then turns to the
left (if right handed) on a heel or toe and completes a turn.
What was your major in college and what career
path have you pursued?
2 Visions — Fall 2007
Kristal Kostiew Yush
I attended the University of Vermont on a full athletic
scholarship. I majored in education and exercise and sport
sciences and graduated in 2004 with my teaching degree
(physical education for K-12). Right before graduation I signed
a contract to teach high school physical education in Montville,
Connecticut. This year I have relocated to Baton Rouge with my
husband who has a coaching job at Louisiana State University
and I will be teaching K-8 physical education and social studies
at Crescent Elementary School as well as coaching volleyball and
track at Plaquemine High School. Working full time, coaching
and training sure keeps me busy, but I love all aspects of my life!
Work helps me to have something non track-related that I am
good at and enjoy; coaching helps me to give back to kids and
participate in sports that I love; and the training is just a bonus!
Did your academic and athletic experience at
Coe-Brown contribute to your desire to pursue
compete at the international level?
If anyone had told me when I was in high school that
someday soon I would be one of the best athletes in my sport,
I wouldn’t have believed it. When I was in high school I had
dreams of someday making an Olympic team, but I guess I never
really believed that it was a true possibility for me. I always
thought that I would play college basketball somewhere and that
would be it. That was where my love was. Then the calls started
coming from track coaches across the country and I started to think,
“Hey, I could be pretty good at throwing in college.” One thing led to
another and now here I am—one of the best in the world!
I think that a lot of what I took from academics and athletics
from Coe Brown was the drive for excellence no matter what the
circumstances were. I remember with basketball, Mr. Hall always told
my team that we were capable of so much, not to give up, and work
for our goals and get out there and achieve them. Being a part of
two of his state championship teams really helped to develop a core
feeling that I could achieve anything that I put my mind to through
hard work and dedication. My dad showed me similar lessons (he
coached me in throwing when I decided to try track my sophomore
year), as well. His patience, dedication and belief in me really helped
me to see what I was really capable of. He would come to practice
each day after work and help me and the other throwers to become
good. His attention to detail and never letting me go home until I
had a good practice really helped to hone the discipline that I need in
my practice sessions today.
The same was true with academics. The teachers I had—Mr.
Johnson, Mr. Hall, Mr. Colby, Mr. Ashley, Mr. McCormick and Mrs.
Dana—they always expected the best from all of their students. I
was no exception. I remember one day I was having a difficult time
with math and getting so frustrated and Mr. Johnson would not let
me leave class until I got it—which eventually I did. Mr. McCormick
never accepted anything less than our best for chorus and worked
so patiently until everyone got it. Mr. Colby asked us day in and day
out to think outside the box and imagine what we could become in
five years. It was all the little things from coaches, teachers and family
that helped to create the base of confidence and drive to achieve what
I have so far.
What role has your family played in your athletic
career?
I truly believe that the support of my family (including my
husband) has played an important role in my success. Knowing
that they are there and supportive no matter how I do or what I
accomplish is one of the best feelings in the world. It doesn’t matter
to them how far I throw, if I make an Olympic team or where I
compete. Having that knowledge can be really comforting when I’ve
had a bad meet or am thousands of miles from home.
All my life my parents have been there at my athletic events,
never missing a game, meet or event. Dad has acted as a travel
companion to some of my cross-country trips when my husband
couldn’t make it. I can always count on Mom or Dad or both of them
to be there to cheer me on. Even when they can’t physically be there
to watch, they ask me to show them videos of the event so they can
feel like they were there cheering me on! Having that support means
everything in the world.
Having my husband always on my side supporting me no matter
how I perform is really a rod of strength for me, too. Derek is my
current coach so he is tough on me, telling me when I am capable
of more, when I totally choked, or performed at my best. He is
sometimes brutally honest, which is difficult to hear, but at the same
time I know he is always on my side. Derek tries never to miss a
meet of mine, as well, no matter if it is in Arizona, Japan or Boston.
Besides being the best coach I could imagine, he is the best husband a
girl could ever ask for!

2000: never thrown it before!
Where have you traveled for hammer throw
events?
This year has really been a breakthrough year for me;
I’ve improved my throw by nearly 20 feet! Through this
performance, the international scene has just begun to open
up to me. This past year I have traveled to the following
places: Boston, New York City, Tennessee, California, Oregon,
Arizona, Utah, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Brazil and Japan. Next
year I will travel to Europe for a few weeks of competitions
after the trials and before the Olympic Games.
Assuming you reach the Olympics, what do you
plan to do afterwards? Will you stay in the sport
and compete again in four years?
Assuming I make the Olympic team next year, I hope to
make it to the finals. If I make the team next year I really think
that I have a really good possibility to be in contention for a
medal in 2012 and 2016. Obviously Derek and I will need to
sit down and re-assess after next fall, but I still feel that I will
be young enough to keep up with the training and remain
competitive. Derek and I definitely want to have children at
some point, as well. Only time will tell how all that will work
into my athletic goals and the timing of the Olympics in the
coming years.
Do you keep in touch with any of your
Coe-Brown classmates?
Living in Connecticut and now Louisiana, I am not
around Northwood as much as I was in the past. I bump into
my high school friend Sarah Bascom from time to time, but
not as much as I would like. I do try to make it home for the
Alumni Basketball game each fall to touch base with a few
people, but for the most part the people I keep in touch with
from CBNA are my siblings! (Michael Kostiew ’96, Matthew
Kostiew ’02 and Katherine Kostiew ’04.)

CBNA Receives Second Consecutive
Sportsmanship Award
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy unveiled its newest award in front of
the entire student body at a recent school assembly. Athletic Director
Matt Skidds announced that Coe-Brown has received the New
Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Class I Sportsmanship
Award.
The most prestigious honor awarded by the NHIAA, it is voted on by
all schools who participate in Class I athletics. It honors Coe-Brown’s
athletes, coaches and spectators for their conduct and sportsmanship
during the 2006-2007 athletic season. This is the second consecutive
year that Coe-Brown has been a Class I honoree, and Skidds
emphasized the role the entire school played in earning this award.
The NHIAA promotes a culture of sportsmanship amongst its member
schools and the 44,000 student athletes involved in its programs.
Two new scholarships established in memory of loved ones
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy is the fortunate
beneficiary of two new scholarship funds established in the
names of loved ones who passed away this year.
The Ralph “Duke” Seavey ’39
Scholarship has been established in the amount
of $20,000 by the trustees of his estate. Duke was
an avid musician who played clarinet and had his
own band. He was a loyal supporter of CBNA and
wanted a portion of money from his trust fund to go
to CBNA. The money will be used each year for a
music scholarship. Several members of Duke’s family
graduated from CBNA including his mother, Grace
Merl Akins 1918, and siblings Fred Seavey ’42, Merl
Seavey Bartels ’42 and Frances Seavey Carlson ’43.
The Nathan C. Lake Memorial
Scholarship Fund was established by Mr. Lake’s
family following his death this past July. Mr. Lake
Ralph Seavey ‘39 (center) leading the CBNA band.
was a resident of Strafford and, with his wife, Anne,
ran Berrybogg Farm for more than 30 years. Although his
daughters, Julia Lake Butterfield, Leslie Lake and Cynthia
Lake, graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas Academy in Dover fund. Mrs. Anne Lake, Nathan Lake’s widow, sums up the
family’s decision:
and his grandchildren attended Oyster River High School,
“We chose to start a scholarship in Nathan’s name because
the family chose CBNA as the beneficiary of the scholarship
education, both formal and informal, was an integral part
of who Nathan was,” says Mrs. Lake. “His parents struggled
financially to send him to Lafayette College as so many parents
do today but they did what they had to do and Nathan lived
his life always grateful for the opportunity. We have lived in
this community for over 35 years and over the years we have
had the pleasure of employing many Coe-Brown students in the
blueberry field. We were always impressed with how many of the
students were college bound and spoke highly of Coe-Brown.
Our family hopes this scholarship will help students realize their
dream of college and foster a lifelong love of education, which is
how Nathan lived his life.”
To date, the family and friends of Nathan Lake have
contributed more than $68,000 to the Nathan C. Lake
Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Thank you to both families for your generosity. For more
information about establishing a memorial scholarship at CoeBrown, call the Development Office at 603-942-5531, ext. 186,
or e-mail development@coebrownacademy.com.

those hearty alumni willing to brave the elements.

outlined accomplishments in 2007 and hopes for the
year 2008. He noted that over 200 hopeful freshmen are

Loyal golfers help boost
CBNA’s endowment fund
Intermittent rain (all right, it was a steady downpour!)
didn’t dampen spirits of the forty golfers who participated
in the second annual CBNA Alumni and Friends Golf
Tournament on June 9 at Nippo Lake Golf Club in
Barrington. The golfers and our generous sponsors, led by
Graystone Builders of Strafford, raised more than $2,000 to
benefit CBNA’s endowment fund.
Northwood Power Equipment joined us again this year as
our hole-in-one sponsor but they were unable to give away a
Massey-Ferguson tractor. Better luck next year, golfers!
Our winning team this year consisted of Greg Cullen,
Keith DeTrude, Mike Hedstrom and Doug Smith, who
unseated last year’s champions. We were especially pleased to
have CBNA faculty members Sam Struthers, Matt Skidds,
Mark Struthers, Josh Hils, Heidi Cleveland and Mark Carrier
join us on the links this year.
Individual hole sponsors for this year’s tournament
were Northwood Physical Therapy, CBNA Alumni
Association, McBride’s Water Advantage, O-Bees Electric,
Holy Rosary Credit Union, Inn At Deerfield, Inventex, New
England Signal Systems, Northwood Diner, MD Tasker
(Left to right) Jack Miles, Fred Holmes ‘71 and John Dodge ‘72
get ready to hit the links.
Construction, Tasker’s Well Company and Northwood
Transportation.
Tournament and raffle prize sponsors were CocaCola of New England, Capitol Golf, Dunkin’ Donuts,
Hannaford Supermarkets, Apple Hill Golf Course,
Holy Rosary Credit Union, Smuttynose Brewing, Lion
Café, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Nippo Lake Golf
Club, Northwood Power Equipment, Sign Spectrum,
Wal-Mart Rochester, Mountain Road Trading Post and

Thank you so much to all our players and sponsors!
