MEDRANO SIGNS WITH NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE
Congratulations to Krystle Medrano, a 5'7 SG from Don Lugo High School on signing her Letter of Intent to continue her education and basketball career at New England College in Henniker, NH.
In her time as a Chaffey Panther Krystle was named 2nd Team All Conference, averaged 18 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 steals, and 1.8 assists per game. She lead the Inland Empire Athletic Conference in Free-Throw Shooting Percentage (89.2) and Made Threes Per Game (3.8) and finished her junior college career ranked 4th and 5th in the state respectively.
Krystle will be studying Psychology and plans to become a counselor and mental health speaker and advocate.
"My time at Chaffey was full of laughter & fun. There are so many great memories with my teammates and coaches that I will cherish forever.
Each day that I went into the gym, it was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. Regardless of injuries or losses, I knew everything was going to work out because I had Coach Kendyl by my side. I am glad to have been a part of Coach Kendyl's first year here at Chaffey.
Thank you to all the faculty for the endless encouragement. Thank you to my teammates for giving me a shoulder to lean on when I needed one.
As I begin to prepare home away from home in New Hampshire, the one thing I am looking forward to the most is being able to experience a whole new environment. New friends, new teammates, a new lifestyle, and so many new memories all while being in a new city/state.
I can't wait to watch how much I grow as a person, a student, and an athlete.
I chose New England College because of the great coaching staff and because it is different from what I'm used to. I believe I can't grow to my full potential in an area that I am comfortable in. It is time to unleash and discover a part of me that I have not yet seen."
