O'Malley, Frazier Earn NCAC Scholar-Athlete Awards
Meghan Frazier '25, Women's Track & Field
Wittenberg junior Meghan Frazier has come a long way in her athletic career. Starting out as a young gymnast, she never dreamed about all she would later achieve as a high-level collegiate sprinter.
A national qualifier who holds multiple school records at Wittenberg, Frazier has earned numerous accolades as a member of the Tigers' track and field team and recently added one more to her ledger. On March 22, Wittenberg Director of Athletics Brian Agler gathered members of the Wittenberg track and field team together to recognize Frazier as the school's women's sports North Coast Athletic Conference Scholar-Athlete Award honoree for the 2023-24 school year.
"I'm very honored to receive this award alongside all the other wonderful student-athletes across the NCAC. There are a lot of really great kids that we compete with, so I'm very humbled and very honored," Frazier said. "It encourages me to keep working hard, and it feels good to know that my hard work in the classroom and on the track is recognized and appreciated."
Conor O'Malley '24, Baseball
Wittenberg senior Conor O'Malley has been active in sports for about as long as he can remember.
"I have an older sister, and she was into youth sports, and I wanted to play really badly. So I actually started playing with her team when I was 4 or 5 years old," he said. "I was just running around having fun. I played soccer, football, baseball and basketball."
Fast forward several years, and O'Malley has become one of the top student-athletes in the history of the Wittenberg baseball program. Not only has he posted some impressive stats throughout his time with the Tigers, but he has also been a standout student. His success both on the field and in the classroom garnered him a special honor this year.
