Visions — Fall 2007 1

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 

What awards/titles/medals 

have you won thus far? 

• 2007 USA World Team (finished as second best in the 

US and number 23 in the world) 

• 2007 USA Pan American Team (finished fourth, was 

number one American hammer thrower at the meet) 

• USA National Meet (2007: 2nd, 2006: 5th, 2005: 

9th) 

• USA National Indoor Meet (2007: 3rd, 2006: 

5th, 2005: 8th, 2004: 5th, 2003: 9th) 

Personal Best Progression 

2007: 227’3” 2003: 188 

2006: 215 2002:185 

2005: 205 2001: 153 

2004: 191 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.)

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 

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 

and his grandchildren attended Oyster River High School, 

the family chose CBNA as the beneficiary of the scholarship 

Ralph Seavey ‘39 (center) leading the CBNA band. 

fund. Mrs. Anne Lake, Nathan Lake’s widow, sums up the 

family’s decision: 

“We chose to start a scholarship in Nathan’s name because 

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 Coe- 

Brown, call the Development Office at 603-942-5531, ext. 186, 

or e-mail development@coebrownacademy.com.

On June 9, 140 alumni, spouses, guests and friends 

gathered in the CBNA dining hall for the annual Alumni 

Banquet. As usual Kim and Darlene Cardinal of “Just Us 

Cardinals” prepared a delicious buffet. Headmaster David 

Smith conducted a damp walking tour of the campus for 

those hearty alumni willing to brave the elements. 

Alumni Association President Debbie Burklund 

Marden ’75 introduced Headmaster Smith who briefly 

outlined accomplishments in 2007 and hopes for the 

year 2008. He noted that over 200 hopeful freshmen are 

enrolled for academic year 2007-2008. Headmaster Smith

Joyce, director of development and alumni affairs gave 

a brief report on the annual golf tournament and the

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 Coca- 

Cola 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,
