Summer 2007:
Crystal was invited
to participate in the
People To People Sports Ambassadors Program, by traveling to Holland in July of 2007. She played volleyball and was the starting setter for her team.

The People to People Sports Ambassadors Program is an athletic, educational travel experience that cultivates personal growth and development, all while providing leadership life lessons through sport.

This was a wonderful opportunity for Crystal to learn about many different cultures, while training and competing in an Olympic-style venue. She proudly represented Team USA in International volleyball competition. She wishes to thank everyone who helped make this experience a reality. She could not have done it without the support of friends and family.

Future Plans:
Crystal is excited about graduating in June 2009. She is getting a lot of interest from universities from all over the United States. Crystal is hoping to continue her volleyball career in college and has the talent to make it happen. She plans to major in Pharmacy and is sure to be an exemplary student.
