Meghan Wommack '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Meghan Wommack and I am 14 years old and just finished my freshman year in high school.  I have always had a passion for biology and I hope one day to go into medicine or veterinary medicine.  

I love being active.  I have been playing lacrosse since third grade and have played on travel lacrosse teams for three years.  In addition to lacrosse, I have also played field hockey and house and travel basketball and I enjoy running.  I have always loved the game of lacrosse.  It is a great stress reliever for me and is fun.  I am always excited to play and enjoy learning more about the sport.  

I am currently a defender for the 2019-2020 Virginia United travel team.  Last fall, I sustained a stress fracture which kept me out for the fall club season and spring high school season.  I am very excited to be back in the game this summer and playing for Virginia United.  I have also played for Supernova Select and Cardinal Lacrosse.  I have focused on playing defense since middle school, but prior to that played both midfield and attack.  

I enjoy playing defense and have a talent for it.  I have good stick skills and can use both right and left hand to catch and throw  I take charge on the field and am comfortable being a leader.  I am well educated about the position and don't get intimidated easily. 

I have been dreaming about playing college lacrosse since I first began the sport.  I've been to several college camps and have heard about how amazing playing in college can be.  I want to play lacrosse as long as I can and believe it will make me a better student because it will help me stay balanced.  

While I love being an athlete, I have other things that are important to me.  I have been in my school choir since elementary school and have participated in district chorus for three years.  I also played piano and cello.  I am a dedicated student and do well in my honors classes.  I am also very involved at my church and volunteer regularly in my community and participate in a mission trip each year.

As a sixth grader, I was the only student to receive the prestigious Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship Award.  I was selected for this award by the faculty because over several months, I worked to integrate special needs students into activities with the other students at recess. 

I would love nothing more than to continue playing this sport that I love in college while pursuing my academic goals and dreams of going into medicine.
