by Heather Heise

Congratulations to Cristina Masurat from the varsity girls soccer team. Cristina was nominated by coaches Bill Stryker and Jolene Keel for this spotlight. Cristina has been playing soccer at Valley for four years and has been an inspiration and motivation for many of the girls. Coach Keel stated, “Cristina is the most dedicated player on the team. She personifies dedication and always gives 110%. She is extremely talented and yet one of the most humble individuals I have ever coached.”

Cristina is a scholar athlete and a top prospect at Clairmont-McKenna College, one of the most prestige colleges in the country. Coach Stryker commented, “Cristina is an amazing young lady. She is dedicated, fun loving and has an unwavering faith that permeates everything she does.” Through talking to the coaches it was evident that Cristia’s humble nature and kind ways have raised the bar. Cristina put numerous hours in the off-season and has become a force to be reckoned with for playing time.

Congratulations Cristina; we wish you the best of luck this season and can’t wait to report on all of your individual and teams’ success.
