Who was Dan Horyn?
Dan was born May 5th, 1979 to Michael and Ellen Horyn. He was married to Andrea Bilec on June 6th, 2006. Dan lost his courageous battle with cancer on Monday, September 9th, 2013.
Dan grew up in West Chicago, Illinois where he attended West Chicago High School. He was an excellent student and athlete always taking pride in his work and effort. As a student, Dan was the West Chicago class of 1997 Valedictorian earning a 4.0 GPA and the perfect attendance award. It was in high school that Dan developed a love for writing through journalism class. He served his school as the editor of the sports, news and perspectives columns for the school paper. Dan, never afraid of being different, once wrote "Well Worth the Wait," a column he did for the school newspaper, in which he argued against premarital sex. "Morals can be cool," he wrote in the Valentine's Day Wildcat Chronicle.
Dan began running in the 4th grade with an Aurora track club where he was a natural on the track and in cross country. Running became his passion and a way of life! Dans sister Nicole tells the story of one time in which he was determined to get a 5 mile run in despite the hurricane like conditions outside. He measured a lap in the living room from front door to back door and began running, informing his sister that he thought he was under a 5:00 minute pace indoors. In high school Dan finished 2nd place in the 1600 at the IHSA State Meet in 1997 and went on to run at the University of Illinois on scholarship posting a personal best of 3:48 in the 1500.
Dan was quoted by Barry Tempkin of the Chicago Tribune saying that following college his dream job would be to become an author of fiction novels, but he would also major in education in case it did not work out. Selfishly we are glad it didnt work out. Dans love for English, writing and running came to Niles North High School in fall of 2001. Dan immediately endeared himself to the student body and faculty with his sense of style, love for what he was doing and compassion for his students and colleagues. On the website, ratemyteacher.com, a student wrote about Dan that sums him up in a nutshell. Mr. Horyn is the best English teacher I ever had. He has his own style that looks like that 70s show and he isn't ashamed of it, and that is cool. He really cares about his students. It was not out of the ordinary to see Dan wearing the skinniest of skinny jeans and a tie made of wood, metal or even homemade. Those that thought his style quirky were only jealous that they could not pull it off the way that he did.
As an English teacher Dan was talented and passionate and put everything he had into honing the craft of teaching. He was voted teacher of the year by the students in 2008. This was an honor he was extremely proud of and very deserving. Dan was always humble about any honor he won. While going through his desk we found his teacher of the year parking pass and his National Board certification folded up in a bottom drawer. Dans students and community loved him dearly. Over the last three years, students have run in their Physical Education class in honor of Dan, collecting pledges for the American Cancer Society and now the Dan Horyn Foundation. As a outpouring of support for his fight and memory students have raised over $44,000.
As a co-head coach with Dan during those years, my favorite activity was watching Dan run from finish line to the 200 meter mark giving his athletes splits. Many a referee asked me to not have him do this as it could be interpreted as pacing. One referee stated if you don't stake him down in the middle of the track I am going to disqualify your runner. Remorseful, Dan would comply for a little while but then he was off again.
As a coach Dan was remarkable in how he connected with his athletes. They called him Dad and Andrea Mom as he provided much more than just a coach to his athletes. In Dans relatively short time at Niles North he coached his team to 3 cross country conference championships and 7 consecutive track and field championships with 3 sectional championships in track as well. He has coached two all state athletes in cross country and ten all state track and field athletes. His influence over the distance runners was fun to watch.
Dan was special, one of a kind and will be sorely missed by his wife, family, friends and here at Niles North. Please join us today in honoring his memory by competing very hard, cheering very loud and honoring the sport and people that Dan loved. Finish the race, fight the good fight, and keep the faith!
In memory,
Paul Swanson
Niles North Head Coach

Niles North Track and Field and the IHSA
Promote Good Sportsmanship
Do What's Right!
Niles North expects good sportsmanship from its athletes and fans. Along with the IHSA we ask your school to expect good sportsmanship as well.
The Illinois High School Association is proud to offer one of the largest and most extensive sportsmanship programs in the country with its renowned Do Whats Right! program. The Do Whats Right! sportsmanship program encompasses a multitude of different initiatives and opportunities for member schools and their students. Those efforts include Sportsmanship Banners for schools who display exemplary sportsmanship at IHSA state final team events, the Sportspersons of the Year awards that honor model students from around the state, educational materials like the IHSA Sportsmanship Expectations and the Sport A Winning Attitude awards, which although officials, coaches and administrators to recognize small acts of sportsmanship at all levels that often go overlooked.
Do Whats Right! is also proud to present the nations first and only sportsmanship mascot, Add A. Tude. Add A. Tude joined the IHSA in 1997 and has been a fixture at IHSA state final events since that time, in addition to making appearances at member schools upon request. Add A. Tude represents the vigor and friendliness of the proper behavior that is the backbone of good sportsmanship.
The Do Whats Right! program receives guidance and oversight from an eight-person Sportsmanship Advisory Committee, made up of member school administrators, and a Student Advisory Committee driven by 22 student leaders from around the state. Members of these committees are often on-site at IHSA state finals to help judge the sportsmanship for the awards programs above.

Promote Good Sportsmanship
Do What's Right!
Niles North expects good sportsmanship from its athletes and fans. Along with the IHSA we ask your school to expect good sportsmanship as well.
The Illinois High School Association is proud to offer one of the largest and most extensive sportsmanship programs in the country with its renowned Do Whats Right! program. The Do Whats Right! sportsmanship program encompasses a multitude of different initiatives and opportunities for member schools and their students. Those efforts include Sportsmanship Banners for schools who display exemplary sportsmanship at IHSA state final team events, the Sportspersons of the Year awards that honor model students from around the state, educational materials like the IHSA Sportsmanship Expectations and the Sport A Winning Attitude awards, which although officials, coaches and administrators to recognize small acts of sportsmanship at all levels that often go overlooked.
Do Whats Right! is also proud to present the nations first and only sportsmanship mascot, Add A. Tude. Add A. Tude joined the IHSA in 1997 and has been a fixture at IHSA state final events since that time, in addition to making appearances at member schools upon request. Add A. Tude represents the vigor and friendliness of the proper behavior that is the backbone of good sportsmanship.
The Do Whats Right! program receives guidance and oversight from an eight-person Sportsmanship Advisory Committee, made up of member school administrators, and a Student Advisory Committee driven by 22 student leaders from around the state. Members of these committees are often on-site at IHSA state finals to help judge the sportsmanship for the awards programs above.
