THE MEG - UHM's Special Projects and Media Relations Manager: Meg Hunt

Although Wofford began admitting women resident students in 1976, it wasn’t until 1980-81 that the college fielded intercollegiate women’s athletics teams. These first teams had to yield practice time and space to the men’s team as well as for intramurals competitions. Meg was the first woman to receive a Wofford athletics scholarship.

A standout student-athlete at Woodruff High School, Meg averaged 23 points in her first five games on the Terrier women’s basketball team. She was inducted into the Wofford Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991. Her career statistics are still tied for fifth in scoring (1,537), sixth in scoring average (16.1), third in field goals made (614), eighth in free throws (288), third in rebounds (887), first in defensive rebounds (690) and seventh in steals (228).

She has spent her career in journalism and media relations, serving leadership roles with Media Women of South Carolina and a term as president of the National Federation of Press Women. She never misses an opportunity to support women’s athletics at Wofford and beyond.
