Honor of a Lifetime

On Oct. 16, Head Coach Megan Wargo-Kearney was inducted into the Gettysburg College Athletic Hall of Fame. Although she was in California coaching the Pack, her parents and sisters attended the ceremony on her behalf, and MWK delivered a pre-recorded acceptance speech.
She was introduced by Kelly Kim, her former head volleyball and assistant softball coach at Gettysburg. MWK highlighted the strong bond they formed during her time in the 'Burg and noted that they have maintained a close connection over the years.
