Vargo Signs with IPFW

Fort Wayne, IN- IPFW head softball coach Keith Fisher has announced the signing of Kayla Vargo for the 2006 season.

Vargo, an incoming freshman from Westville, IN, will give the Mastodons some needed versatility. The 2005 graduate of Chesterton High School can catch, play first, third, or the outfield.

Vargo's Lady Trojans team was the first to win a 4A sectional title at Chesterton since the 1994 season. The Trojans season ended with a runner-up finish in regional action.

Vargo is a three-time letterwinner, who was named All-Duneland Athletic Conference in 2004 and 2005. She was also selected by the Times and Post Tribune as a First-Team All-Area Selection. Vargo earned third team All-State honors in both '04 and '05.

"Kayla is the type of student-athlete that we desire here at IPFW," according to Fisher. "Her ability to play a number of positions effectively will give us tremendous defensive flexibility."

Vargo leaves Chesterton High School with a career batting average of .367, hitting .355 in 2005, while driving in 19 runs. She owns a share of the school record for most game winning RBI's in a season with six, and a the career record for doubles with nineteen.
