Charles Tursky is the head wrestling coach at Kiski Area High School, and has been there for 26 seasons.

Prior to his years at Kiski, he coached seven years at Burrell High School.

Tursky has been an inspirational leader to his team, and has been on the winning side of the mat 490 times while suffering only 142 losses in his career. His Kiski Cavaliers rolled to a streak of 68 consecutive dual meet wins in the late 1990s.

He was sectional coach of the year for 10 consecutive seasons, and was the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Coach of the Year in 1997.

2003 was a great year for Tursky as he was named Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association State Coach of the Year, was elected to the Southwest Region Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Hall of Fame, and was inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Very possibly, the most remarkable statistic for Chuck is that 80 of his former wrestlers have gone on to become coaches themselves, which is quite a legacy to a great coach and an exceptional leader of student athletes.

Chuck and Amiee reside in Natrona Heights and together they have five children.
