The 5-foot-5 junior won the Division I state meet this past season with a time of 18:10.46, breaking the tape 14.25 seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor and leading the Dashers to a seventh-place finish as a team. Scott finished sixth at the Nike Cross Nationals Heartland Regional championships and set course records at the Chocolate City Invitational, the Greater Metro Conference Meet and the Division 1 South Milwaukee Sectional race. She is a two-time First Team All-State selection.
Scott has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
An accomplished Irish dancer, Scott has volunteered locally as part of fundraising campaigns to benefit multiple sclerosis research. She has also donated her time as an elementary-school tutor and on behalf of multiple community-service initiatives through her school's service team. "I was extremely impressed with Meghan Scott's season this fall," said Lorie Lewis, head coach of Brookfield Central High. "She steadily improved throughout and raced her best when it counted the most. By the time she raced in the sectional and state meets she was a runner none of the competition could match."
