I recently received an email from her high school coach (Gene Klumpp Jr.), Gene told me how things are going for Crystal, in her first year of college. I thought you might like an update on Crystal.

From Coach Klumpp
"Just an update on Crystal. She's attending Rutgers University and is a freshman on the softball team. She is working hard, waiting for her chance to play. She's excited and did well during the fall practices.
She has an upperclassman in front of her, and a team captain as well."

As a further follow-up to Crystals' high school career the following is her bio from the Rutgers softball web site:
"Earning all-county honors her senior year, Vargas was the first-ever female on the varsity baseball team at Marist High School. She also excelled in soccer, as she received first-team all-county, honorable mention all-state team and team MVP distinctions as a senior. Just as successful in a third sport at the varsity level, Vargas ranked among the top 10 bowlers in the conference in 2000 and 2001. Off the field, she was a member of the NAtional Honor Society and the Student Council Executive Board, while also graduating sixth in her class. For her efforts, Vargas was awarded the NCIAA Player-Of-The-Year-Award, presented for academic and athletic performance."
