PAGE 6 1 THE MEREDITH HERALD [ SEPTEMBER 23, 2009 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Name: Katie Helms Major; Exercise and Sports Science Sport: Cross Country Year: 2010 This issue’s Piayer of the Week is senior Katie Heims. Heims is one of the most domi nant members of the 2009 Meredith Cross Country Team. Helms’ speed, audacity, and leadership skills help make this year's cross country team arguably the best one yet. Helms has been participating in cross country since her freshman year of high school. This is her 6th season straight of hard core running. Although some people may consider cross country running to be incred ibly difHcuit and hard. Helms loves being on the cross country team. “One thing I love the most about cross country is being in great shape and having a sky-rocketing metabolism. In all seriousness though, it's great to be on a team and have a set time of day every day that I can get away with friends and not focus on what's due tomoffow," said Helms. Helms plans on making running a pemia- nent part of her life. She will continue running after college for health and recreation and may possibly participate in races. Her intense love for ainning has definitely contributed to the success of the cross country team. “I am fully confident that this will be the best season for cross country that Meredith has ever seen,” stated Helms. ere MEREDITH AVKNIINI «Nlll.a Wednesday, Sept. 23 Vblleyball VS Methodist @ Fayetteville, NC 7p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 Volleyball VS Shenandoah . ’ 12p.m.(WSP)‘ Soccer VS Piedmont 2p.m. (AFT) Volleyball VSGreensbcro .. 4 p.m. (WSP) / • - Cross Country @ Greensboro XC .

CAMPBELL IS NEW BASKETBALL COACH Jillian Curtis Staff Writer After much controversy. Dr. Melinda Campbell will be the new head basket ball coach for the 2010 basketball sea son. Campbell has sen/ed on Meredith faculty for the past seventeen years, but this will be her first season coaching college basketball here at Meredith. Dr. Campbell is no stranger to col lege basketball. After playing at both the high school and college level as well as serving as basketball coach ing assistant at Indiana University, Campbell is more than ready to take on the challenge. In addition to coaching, Campbell is also a recently tenured professor. She was the department chair of Exercise Sports Science, and she will continue teaching as well as coaching during the basketball season. Campbell was also the tennis coach at Meredith for numerous years. She coached from 1992-2000, and during that time she led the Angels to their first ever NCAA tournament spot. She also led the team to national rankings in 1995,1998, and 2000. Prior to teaching at Meredith, Camp bell worked In the Greater Clark County School System in Jefferson, Indiana. During her time there she served as Head Basketball, Volleyball, and Girls Track Coach. Needless to say her experience is invaluable and she wilt be a crucial asset to the Angel’s future success. After having several difficult seasons in the past, it will be up to Campbell to lead the team in a positive direction. Last year’s overall record was 6-19, despite the fact that Meredith had many talented players. Hopefully with Campbell's new coaching techniques as well as returning starters, the Angels will be able to come out strong and have a successful season. Be sure to check out the Meredith Avenging Angels website for a schedule of this year's season. Photo Courtesy htip://www.meredith.edu/athlelics/bas- ketball/coaches.php
