West Liberty-Salem standout runner Meghan Vogel signed with Penn State Wednesday afternoon. Vogel will compete in cross country and track for the Nittany Lions.
Meghan chose Penn State because she liked the campus and it felt like a home away from home. Also, Penn State has one of the best coaching staffs in the nation and Vogel thinks the girls on the team are great.
While at Penn State, Meghan aims to make the traveling team during her freshman year and wants to become a better runner.
Meghan plans to study anthropology.
