Coach KisnerIn Memoryof our Beloved Coach Curt Kisner

"You guys are the best. Now go out there and prove it."
- Coach Kisner Coach Kisner was the first Head Coach of the Yorba Linda High School Cross Country team. During the time that he was Head Coach, Coach Kisner implemented a simple pyramid on how to train and encouraged every member of the team to step up when the time arises. To him, no runner was too slow, and no runner was too fast. A No simply meant a Yes on a brighter day, and a Yes meant to give it all you've got and take months of hard work and training, down that final race straight.
Spring of 2010 saw a drastic change of what the team used to be. Coach Kisner had been diagnosed with Melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Although he had lost much strength, Coach Kisner didn't give up on his enthusiasm and hopes for the team. He was as optimistic as ever and nothing would've come close to bringing him and his team down. On January 13th, Coach Kisner finished his last race. He created the team in the first mile, he kept up with the team on the second, and we all finished in the end with his legacy, and our memories. Rest in Peace, Coach Kisner. |
