While a student at Catalina Foothills High School,Β Christian MuscarelloΒ became an all-city shortstop who went on to be an all-conference player at Trinity University in San Antonio. After leaving Trinity, Muscarello signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and played minor-league baseball in 2014. He has since quit baseball and returned to Tucson to become one of the leading amateur golfers in Arizona. At last weekβs Arizona Amateur in Phoenix, Muscarello shot 11 under par to be co-medalist in the stateβs top amateur golf tournament. He advanced to the 64-man match play championships and reached the quarterfinals. He is working with ex-UA golferΒ Susie Meyers, who last year was named one of the Top 100 golf teachers in America by Golf Magazine. Meyers also works with Catalina Foothills sophomoreΒ Maya Benita, who recently won the national championship in the 16U Long Drive tournament.Β
