KAYE WHITNEY | 1958 – 2012

Each year on March 10, we perform a workout in honor of our founder, Kaye Whitney. Whitney, 53, of Bellingham, Wa., died March 10, 2012. She began the roots of what would become CrossFit Upcountry at her Makawao home in 2009. Coach Kaye, who boasted 27 years in the fitness industry, was also an accomplished athlete. She ran 17 marathons, including two ultras; she completed six Ironman Triathlons, including Kona; and she bicycled across the United States; and across South Africa. She was a CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer and held her CrossFit Gymnastics, Basic Barbell, Running / Endurance and Kettlebell certificates. CrossFit Upcountry Maui was the culmination of her life’s work. She’s survived by her son, Cole, a Seabury Hall graduate, who is attending college in Utah.
