Kristin Minton
Assistant Coach |
The 2008 season is the first for Kristin Minton as the assistant coach for the Texas Woman’s University Pioneers.
Minton, 25, comes to TWU with extensive collegiate softball coaching experience on her resume. For the last two years (2005-07), she served as the assistant softball coach at Vernon College in Vernon, Texas. Prior to her stint at Vernon, she was the assistant softball coach from August 2004 - May 2005 at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) in Chickasha, Okla. This summer, she worked as a camp counselor at the nationally acclaimed University of Texas Softball Camps.
Before embarking on her coaching career, Minton was a successful collegiate softball player. As a catcher, she played two seasons (2000-02) at Vernon College and then transferred to USAO where she played from 2002-04. She earned multiple All-Conference and All-Region honors at both Vernon and USAO. Additionally, she received her Associate of Arts in General Studies from Vernon in May 2002, and her Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from USAO in August 2005.
TWU head softball coach Randy Porter will have Minton focusing primarily on the Pioneers’ pitchers and catchers.
This hiring is a reunion of sorts for Minton and Porter. Minton played for Porter in 1997 as a freshman at Arlington (Texas) High School when Porter was the head softball coach for the Colts.
Minton lives in Flower Mound, Texas, with her fiancé, Chris. The couple is engaged to be married in July 2008.
