Christina Henise Crumling '98
Soccer/Tennis/Basketball/Softball
One of LVC's last 12-letter winners, Christina Henise Crumling '98 made her mark on four sports during her career at the Valley. Crumling distinguished herself as a student-athlete in soccer, basketball, softball, and tennis, leading each program to success while being named all-conference in two sports and a captain in three.
Crumling remains one of the women's soccer program's leading scorers, helping the then-new program with 63 points in just two seasons of play to earn all-MAC honors. She is the first women's soccer player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Her 30 career goals still ranks third all-time, and she owns the season records for points (43 in 1997) and goals (21 in 1997) as well as single-game records for points (10) and goals (5).
She was also an all-MAC softball player, starting all four years and serving as captain while earning two team MVP awards. In basketball, she was a four-year starter at point guard and two-time captain, earning team MVP honors as she led LVC to the program's first-ever national ranking. Crumling also played two seasons of tennis, helping that team to the MAC playoffs. She was named the 1998 LVC Female Athlete of the Year, and was a seven-time MAC Academic Honor Roll member.
