Dear Mustang Community,

We are all very excited to welcome

back all of our students and to jump

back in to Mustang athletics and ac-

tivities! As we return from an uncon-

ventional year, maintaining support

and encouragement to our programs

will be more important than ever. One

of our biggest goals as a school is to

engage students in extracurricular

programs and help them understand

the importance of being part of a

community. Dedication to this goal,

coupled with the hard work of our stu-

dents, staff, and parents, has pro-

duced the excellent tradition of suc-

cess shared among all of our pro-

grams. While championships and titles

are great validation of hard work, we

value the relationships and connec-

tions made between our outstanding

young men and women representing

our school. The wealth of talent and

diversity in our school makes BVN such

a special place, and we are eager to

share this with the world. It is what

makes us a Mustang Family! Left to Right: Cory Cox, Asst. Principal of Activities; Kelli Kurle, Associate Principal of Athletics;

It is our goal that Blue Valley North is Dr. Lisa Stolper, Asst. Principal of Curriculum & Instruction; Dr. Tyson Ostroski, Principal
not only a home to our students, but

that you as a parent/guardian also

involve yourself with the North Community. A great way to do this is to join The Mustang Club. The Blue Valley

North Family would like to THANK the BVN Mustang Club for its continued support financially, as well as in their

volunteer efforts. We simply would not be the successful school that we are without the support of our parent

booster club. I strongly encourage you to patronize the businesses that advertise in this Activity Program and

ask you to please join The Mustang Club as it directly impacts our students on a daily basis. Your ongoing in-

volvement and support are essential to the overall success of our school.

I look forward to seeing you all at our Mustang activities and games this year, and it is my honor to cheer on
our outstanding students.

Mustang Proud!

Tyson Ostroski, Principal
Blue Valley North High School

MUSTANG CLUB
Co-Presidents

Dear BVN Community,
We are so excited about the 2021-2022 school year at Blue Valley

North! We would like to encourage you to consider supporting the BVN
Mustang Club. (formerly known as BVN Parent Booster Club)

The Mustang Club is dedicated to supporting and elevating excel-
lence for ALL Mustangs. We promote and support the arts, music clubs/
groups, athletic teams, and many other extracurricular activities that enhance the high-school ex-
perience for our students. We can't do this without volunteers and financial support from a great
community of BVN parents.
Joining the Mustang Club and volunteering at school events are great ways to get connect-
ed with other parents, support our students, and get involved in the BVN community. The more in-
volvement we have from our parents, the higher we can "elevate the excellence" within our school
community!
Over the past 5 years, the BVN Mustang Club has granted nearly $400,000 to support BVN stu-
dents. Even last year, given all the obstacles our students and community faced, we were able to
grant over $75,000. We obviously couldn't provide this extracurricular depth and support for our stu-
dents without the generous support of corporate sponsors, parents memberships and time dona-
tions.
The Mustang Club is for ALL BVN families, grandparents, friends, and alumni! Below are a few ways
you can get involved and support our students ~ www.bvnmustangs.com:

Support Financially:

• Become a Mustang Club Member at one of the 5 membership levels available.
• Become a sponsor of the Mustang Club by placing an ad for your business on the website and/

or in the activity guides.

• Purchase Mustang Club "Spirit Wear" online or at our home games.

Volunteer Time, Talent, and Skills:
• Volunteer at athletic and other extracurricular events.
• Join a Booster Club Committee to support a specific event, team or cause.

Engage and Support the BVN Community:

• Attend and help support Mustang Club Social Activities (i.e. Homecoming Parade, Bonfire, Fire-
works, Tailgate Parties, Annual Parent Social, and Buckaroo Bash).

• Join the greatest community of parents in all of Kansas, get involved to help elevate the excel-
lence of our student activities and provide financial support!

Thank you for your support and consideration - Go Mustangs!

CHEERLEADING

Coach: Taylor Yacos

Years at BVN: First year
Day Job Outside BVN: Account Supervisor at an adver-
tising agency that does marketing for pharmaceutical
companies.
Education/Qualifications: Cheered in college at Avila
University and at Mid-American University. Graduated
in 2015 with a BA in History. I coached cheer at BVSW
for 4 years from 2012-2016. I took a coaching break
from 2016-2021 to focus on my full-time career and
decided to get back into coaching this year.
Coaching Philosophy: My #1 priority as a coach is to
build good character and great people, who will go
out into the world and make it a better place. I can
teach anyone how to do a back handspring, but if I haven’t set you up to be an amazing asset to
this world, I have not done my job. If we build good character and good work ethic, the team will
be very successful.
Personal Information: I live in Overland Park with my husband Jeff, and three dogs Paisley (5 year
old Peekapoo), Bingo (4 year old Boston terrier) and Wilson (2 year old rescue). When not at work or
cheer, you can find me at our home at Lake of the Ozarks, relaxing on or by the water!
Assistant Coaches: Dreyah Cushman and Paige Shoemaker
Season Outlook: Our team acronym for this year is BESUP. The meaning of each letter is a secret only
the team knows, but each letter represents a guiding principle and goal for our team this year.

CROSS COUNTRY

Coach: Miles Riley

Years at BVN: 3rd Year

Teaching Responsibilities: Engineering and Industrial
Technology Teacher

Education/Qualifications: Bachelor's degree from
Pittsburg State University in 6-12 technology & engineer-
ing education; Master's degree from Pittsburg State
University in educational leadership

Coaching Philosophy: To create an environment that
encourages a positive team atmosphere with a strong
commitment to excellence. My goal is to promote and
encourage a lifestyle committed to success as a student and athlete. I want each runner to strive
not only as a student-athlete, but as a person throughout their lives.

Personal Information: I have taught in Blue Valley School District for 8 years. This will be my second
year as head coach at BVN. My wife
Amanda is a nurse at St. Luke’s
South Hospital and we reside in
Gardner, KS. We are expecting in
mid November! I was born and
raised in Olathe.

Assistant Coaches: Jeremey Winzer,
Rachael Shaffer, Jacob Buechler

Season Outlook: The cross country
team put in a tremendous amount
of work this summer, with several
runners ready to have break-out
seasons. We are returning several
from our Varsity boys squad, who
took 5th as a team at State last
season. We graduated several of
our Varsity girls in May 2021, creating
opportunities for a very talented
crop of young runners to step up
and be key contributors. Both teams
will make a strong push
for high levels of success
at league, regionals,
and State this year.

NORTH STARS DANCE

Coach: Kylie Thompson

Years at BVN: 2nd Year
Teaching Responsibilities: Spanish I at BVN, Spanish II at
BVH

Education: I received a Bachelor of Science in Educa-
tion and a minor in Dance from the University of Kan-
sas. I began dancing competitively at the age of 6,
was a 4-year member of the Gretna High School
Dance Team and continued dancing throughout col-
lege. At KU, I was a member of the Rock Chalk Danc-
ers for 4 years and held leadership positions among the
team as well as the University Dance Company within the School of Arts.

Coaching Philosophy: Coaching a dance team means much more than encouraging these ath-
letes to reach their fullest potential as dancers. While we strive for excellence as a dance team, it is
my goal to also help these dancers set high standards for themselves as students and young adults.
As a coach, I work to create a culture that is collaborative and supportive while providing opportu-
nities for athletes to grow as confident, trustworthy leaders in many aspects of life.

Personal Information: Growing up as a dancer, it is so rewarding to now be on the other side of a
team. Last year, I taught Spanish at Sunrise Point Elementary. Now entering my 2nd year, I will be split
teaching Spanish at both BVN and BVH. Outside of school and dance, I cherish any time I can with
my family and friends and hope to get back to traveling and concerts very soon!

Assistant Coach: Casey Petty

Season Outlook: This year has already proven to have so much potential and we are excited about
the opportunity of this season. We have
an excellent group of 16 dancers: 7
seniors, 4 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 2
freshmen. Our upperclassmen have
stepped into leadership roles, and
each dancer has shown their own
strength to bring to the table. The North
Stars are looking forward to performing
at home football games, girls and boys
basketball games, and school & com-
munity events. The team will also com-
pete in the State Dance Competition,
multiple regional competitions, and we
have received a bid to nationals in Or-
lando, FL. We appreciate your support!
Go Mustangs!

FOOTBALL

Coach: Adam Pummill

Adam Pummill was named head football coach at BVN in
March 2021. For the past three seasons, Coach Pummill served
as Offensive Coordinator at Blue Valley North.

A two-sport Division 1 athlete (football & baseball) at Missouri
State University, Coach Pummill started in the College World
Series at 2nd Base as a true freshman. He also played wide re-
ceiver on the Missouri State football team. Coach Pummill has
been involved in competitive sports for more than two dec-
ades, and though he had aspirations to play professional
baseball, his calling is on the football field as a coach. Pummill
credits his passion for football to his father (a former D1 foot-
ball player) & his coaching mentor, Al Saunders, who
coached in the NFL for more than 30 years as both a coordi-
nator and head coach.

Coach Pummill began his coaching career as an offensive graduate assistant at the University of
Tennessee, under former national championship head football coach, Phillip Fulmer. In addition,
Pummill worked alongside offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, David Cutcliffe (Peyton
and Eli Manning's QB coach), who has long been regarded as one of the greatest quarterback
coaches the game has ever seen. While Coach Pummill was at Tennessee, the Vols won the 2007
SEC East Championship, before falling to LSU in a nail-biting SEC championship game.

After Tennessee, Coach Pummill took his talents overseas, becoming the youngest head football
coach (at age 26) in European professional football, when he was named Carlstad Crusaders head
coach in late 2009. In his first season as head coach, Pummill amassed an 11-1 record while leading
the organization to its first-ever championship, setting multiple offensive records.

Upon returning to the states, Pummill continued his coaching career at both the high-school and
college levels at various schools & institutions in the New York City area (Monroe College). Addition-
ally, Pummill was hired by the Cleveland Browns to conduct QB analysis/game-charting for its scout-
ing department.

Sandwiched in between various coaching jobs, Coach Pummill accepted a role as the COO at
EON Sports VR out of Irvine, CA. Prior to a sale of the company, Coach Pummill played a vital role in
forming multiple relationships
and partnerships with collegiate
and professional sports teams,
centered around virtual & aug-
mented reality engagement.

Coach Pummill currently lives in
Overland Park and is married to
Charmaine Pummill of New York
City, NY. The couple has daugh-
ter Caelana, age 4, and baby
girl, Aviana, born in August 2021.

EDUCATION: Bachelor of Arts, Secondary Education
(Mathematics and Business) from Saint Francis University, Indiana, graduated with Honors. Juris Doc-
torate from Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas, graduated with Dean’s Honors.

COACH PHILOSOPY: My goal is to challenge the players to give a “perfect effort” on and off the
court and strive to always improve themselves, in some way, and to be supportive, reliable and
contributing teammates. I also want to instill in all our players that they can, and in some ways have
to, have FUN playing a sport to be able to be the best player and teammate you can be. I want to
assist the players in becoming successful and highly productive young people and to teach and
reinforce skills that will be useful well beyond high school, including, excellent work ethic, good
sportsmanship, teamwork, high academic achievement, and having fun.

SEASON OUTLOOK: Our girls’ tennis team has a dedicated and talented core of returning players
and some very promising new freshmen to help round out and further strengthen our team this
year. We are excited to start the 2021 together. The team is focused, working hard, and ready to
continue the BVN tradition of fielding highly competitive tennis teams.

ASSISTANT COACHES: Tracy Cooper, Tom Verdi, Joanna Blackford

PERSONAL INFORMATION: After having both knees replaced in November 2020, I am back on the
court and playing tennis again, approximately 2-3 times a week. I participate on at least 3-4 adult
competitive tennis teams. I was a former NAIA Academic All-American in both Tennis and Basket-
ball in college and was inducted into my college and high school Athletic Halls of Fame for Tennis
(high school and college), Basketball (high school and college), Softball (college) and Volleyball
(high school). In addition to my law degree (J.D.), I also have a teaching degree, secondary edu-
cation, math and business. I am currently an attorney (Court Trustee) for the Wyandotte County Dis-
trict Court. My passion, outside of my profession, will always be tennis. During my tenure at Blue Val-
ley North, I have now coached over 500 student-athletes. These individuals have gone on to do
many great things in their lives and one of my most enjoyable experiences is when they check in
with me and tell me the all the wonderful things they have accomplished. Mustang Proud!
