Originally committing to Air Force in mid-October as the 15th member of its ’26 class, Cristo later opted to reclassify to ’27 (following a PG year) and will now head to Dartmouth, where he’ll join several fellow West Coast Starz products. On the ’26 circuit, the energetic lefty has excelled thanks to his elite quickness, high IQ, and two-handed ability. He’s as explosive as anyone coming out of a rollback and is a major threat when inverting, capable of putting defenders on skates, knifing through defenses when dodging from up top, or finishing with a smooth, accurate shot on the run. Though undersized, Cristo is fearless with the ball in his stick, using his exceptional skill set to make an impact on every possession — whether or not he ends up on the stat sheet.

If his team is ever in the mud, he is a constant energy guy on the squad who gets his teammates going. Verbally committed to the Air Force!
