Cleveland - Meridian Community College (MCC) had a significant milestone in its athletic history by participating in its first-ever swim meet at the Delta State Thanksgiving Invitational in Cleveland, Mississippi.
MCC competed against five other colleges, including Delta State University, Rhodes College, Hendrix College, University of the Ozarks, and Millsaps College. Notably, MCC was the only community college to participate in this meet.
MCC's standout performer, Megan Heggie, made waves by scoring an impressive 42 points during the preliminary and final rounds of the meet.
