Wisehart to Join Highlanders Volleyball
(Houghton, N.Y.)— The Houghton College volleyball team has
received a commitment from Megan Wisehart of Concord, North
Carolina to join the program.
Wisehart, a setter, was a three-year letter winner at
Jay M. Robinson high school. The four-time North Carolina
Scholar-Athlete was named a team co-captain before the 2008
season, and had a strong senior campaign. She won team MVP
honors, as well as earning a MECA all-conference selection
and an appearance on the conference senior all-star team.
Wisehart recorded 207 assists and 113 digs as a
senior and holds the school record for digs in one match
with 35. Her high school team made the state playoffs every
year that she was on varsity, and her Carolina Storm
Volleyball Club reached the regional finals in the Gold
Division in 2008.
“Megan has been an asset to our high school program
and displayed courage, intensity, maturity, and
determination on and off the court,” said Jay M. Robinson
coach Callie Phillips. “These attributes will help her to
thrive at the next level and be an equally important asset
to Houghton College and its volleyball program. We wish her
the best of luck in her future endeavors.”
Houghton coach Nancy Cole shared Phillip’s positive
outlook. “We are very excited that Megan will become a
Highlander this fall. Megan will bring depth to both our
back row and our setting position,” Cole said. “She will be
a much needed addition to our program as well as a great fit
with our team and this college.”
Wisehart is the daughter of Molly Wisehart and
intends to major in Biology.
