Meg Baxter is a senior at Saint Joe, originally from California. She transferred to Saint Joe before her sophomore year, and since then has been a member of the girl’s varsity soccer, cross country, and track teams.
Moving from California, Baxter learned how to overcome adversity and create a new life. Making new friends, developing new habits, and making a new place feel like home. Since moving to South Bend, Baxter has developed a love for “all the lakes. The tubing, jetskiing, boat days, and dinner feats in a cozy lake house. I had never gone tubing before moving here and I LOOOOVE it.”
After leading her team to semi-state her first year at Saint Joe, she developed a great reputation for herself. Since joining the squad, Baxter has tallied 23 goals and 10 assists, along with being a fixture in the starting lineup. Not surprisingly she was picked , as a captain for her senior year.

Being a cross-country captain this year, there is no doubt that she will lead the team to success once again.
