The indoor state champ in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 1 inch, Meehan added the outdoor state title to her resume. After finishing second in the event each of the last two years, she cleared 5-4 this spring. Seeded 12th going into the 100-meter hurdles, the senior shaved nearly 4 seconds off her personal best to place fourth, contributing more valuable points to the Rebels’ state championship win. She also took first in the high jump at the Southern Divisional Championships.
