She's the thirteenth athlete from Georgian to receive the honour in recognition of outstanding varsity achievements. "I couldn't have gotten where I did without talented Georgian athletes and coaches like Brad Graham guiding and pushing me along the way," says Meagan. "They were – and still are – like family." Meagan chose Georgian partly for the reputation of its varsity team. She played five seasons and finished her career as Georgian's all-time leading scorer. Meagan registered 720 kills, 147 blocks and 109 service aces for a total of 976 points – ranking fifth in OCAA history. A fierce competitor, she earned Georgian's female athlete of the year award twice, including in 2008-09 when she set the then OCAA record for scoring in a single season. Meagan resides in Barrie and is thriving as a national logistics co- ordinator for a growing company, Best Buy Medical Supplies. Sports remain a big part of her life. She plays softball in the summer and volleyball in the winter and plans to become a coach. "While I didn't end up on the career path I set out on, Georgian prepared me for life," she says. "The skills I acquired on the court and in class helped me get where I am today."
