About Meredith »

I'm a 2007 alum of The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. I love my school and love our sports teams. I am proud to say I was a freshman when Roy came on as our new basketball coach. I have been a Hansbrough fan from the moment I saw him and will always defend him as a star player (and now I get to watch him in the pros). I also love Marcus Ginyard and am excited to watch him help lead our young team this year.

I grew up playing softball and soccer and used to stay up watching Duke basketball (gasp) before I actually moved to North Carolina in high school and got my alliances straight. To be clear on this: I bleed Carolina blue.

I moved back down south after a year in New York and am excited to be closer to friends and family.

Picture: In case you can't guess from my bio, I am the one in the Hansbrough (#50) jersey.

Hey Meredith,

Was the problem that you couldn't find any photos? Or that you couldn't find any photos that you liked?

Hopefully you'll have better luck next time—keep the great stuff coming!
