A two-sport star at Carlsbad High School, Karin Yehling focused on softball at Palomar and helped coach Mark Eldridge's Comets to a combined 75-17-1 record and back-to-back Pacific Coast Conference championships in 1987 and 1988. She was a two-time all-state shortstop and was selected to the All-State Tournament team twice. Yehling helped Palomar go 40-9 in her freshman season and 35-8-1 as a sophomore, when the Comets placed second in the state tournament. She received a scholarship to NCAA Division I power Cal State Fullerton and started 58 games for the Titans before a late-season injury that required surgery and ended her softball career. Yehling earned her Bachlor of Science degree at CSUF and is a successful certified personal athletic trainer. She lives in Sylmar.
