sounded like fun and it's a
second sport for me to get in
shape for my main sport,"
she said. "I stuck with it to
stay in shape. It's also fun
and I like being really ag-
gressive and getting after
the ball."
Head girls' basketball
coach Aaron Leth said
Krumpols has been show-
ing great leadership on the
team.
"She's been varsity for
the last three years and
she's dedicated to grades,
her family, her team and
her church," he said.
Krumpols' main sport,
she said, is fastpitch- which
she's played for the last ten
years as well.
"I started playing fast-
pitch through the league
Shelton used to have and
continued through the se-
lect league," Krumpols said.
"I like being able to play, get
down and dirty, go at it hard
and take girls out because
I'm the catcher."
Along with being a
two-sport varsity athlete,
Krumpols maintains a 3.4
to 3.6 GPA, is enrolled in
honors classes and is also a
member of the honor soci-
ety.
"I'm looking at Central
Washington University,
South Puget Sound and
Western Oregon for school
next year," Krumpols said.
"All of them have firefight-
ing programs and have fast-
pitch. I want to find a mix-
ture of the both of them."
She said her goal is to be-
come a firefighter and para-
medic.
"I like the medical stuffso
I thought paramedic would
be a good choice for me,"
Krumpols explained. "I've
also been doing a recruit-
ment class through [Mason
County] Fire District 5."
Outside of school and
sports, Krumpols ~said her

priority and that she enjoys
