Balancing the demands of high-level collegiate athletics with a challenging academic schedule is no small feat, yet Megan does so with discipline, grace, and an unwavering work ethic. She is a role model for her teammates and peers, not only through her performance in the pool but also through her leadership, positivity, and drive to succeed.
Megan’s accomplishments, character, and future goals make her an ideal candidate for Student-Athlete of the Month.
