Mentor(s): Mary Lowry, Jeff Kruger

Started playing: 1988

How I started playing: I saw freestyle for the first time in 1985, at a concert in the park and was completely infatuated! I was later challenged by my husband Jeff Kruger to be a "player". I accepted the challenge.

Favorite move: Double spinning standing gitis

Other fun: Other hobbies include: teaching group fitness,spinning, and pilates classes at the gym, and spending time with her two energetic dogs. And yes, they do catch frisbees!

Partners past & present: Current Partners are Lisa Hunrichs, Toddy Brodeur and Jake Gauthier. Past partners include Jeff Kruger, Brenda Savage, Paul Kenny, Mary Lowry, Dave Lewis and Lori Daniels


With the biggest gitis in the women's game, Cindy is considered one of the buffest and physically dominating female player. Cindy has a turbo and fun style allowing her to hit difficult combinations in competition and set gracefully to partners. Cindys planted gitis (oxymoron?) is the staple of her jam diet. Phlauds, spinning pulls, and turnovers, along with huge Zs (spin) on her throws make her a threat to win any tournament she enters: open, coop, mixed or women's divisions. In the top 20 in the Open Division, she has become the poster child for equality between the sexes in freestyle.

In group play, Cindy can jam with anyone as long as they want, and then she'll find someone else to pound into the earth. Along with husband and mega-death-jammer himself, Jeff Kruger, Cindy brings more intensity and big moves in the shortest amount of time anywhere.
