Arguably the greatest power hitter in the history of softball is coming to collegiate coaching.
Texas A&M-Commerce has announced that Olympic Gold Medal Winner Crystl Bustos will be joining their coaching staff. Bustos won Olympic Gold Medals in 2000 and 2004, and is a member of the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and National Softball Hall of Fame.
Bustos has spent her time since retiring from active competition in the private training field, while also establishing her own national club organization Ruthless Softball.
“I’m so thankful for this opportunity and to be part of the Lion Family. It’s time to do what Lions do!” Bustos commented to RTS after her hiring Wednesday.
Bustos joins the staff of new Texas A&M-Commerce Head Coach Brittany Miller. The Lions compete in their first season of Division I in 2023.
