Multi-Sport Athlete Plans to Sign Scholarship with Eastern Michigan

Kristina Coyne, the multi-sport star who kicked on the varsity football team and played four other sports, is expected to sign an athletic scholarship at Eastern Michigan University.

She plans to compete in track at the college in Ypsilanti, MI, just a few miles away from Ann Arbor, Chartiers Valley Athletic Director Frank Vulcano Jr. said.

She will officially sign her national letter of intent Wednesday morning in the High School Athletic Conference Room.

Besides serving as the football team’s place kicker the past three years, Kristina also played volleyball, basketball and competed in track and field.

Vulcano said Kristina is the “most decorated athlete in school history” and has received 15 varsity letters in five different sports.

Kristina helped the team win two section championships, and she also competed in the 100 meter hurdles in the state tournament, Vulcano said. As a member of the Lady Colts basketball team, she helped the team win three section titles and appear twice in the state semifinal.

She has also lettered three times in both football and soccer, Vulcano said.

Kristina is the daughter of Rick and Pauline Beattie of Scott Township.
