EAGLE SPOTLIGHT



Congratulations to Megan Johnston on signing with York University to continue her cross-country and track career!

This milestone is even more special as she follows in her parents’ footsteps at the place they met. Despite challenges—injuries, setbacks, and personal loss—Megan’s unwavering faith has been her strength.

She extends heartfelt thanks to her parents, family, coaches, friends, and school community for their support.

A special shoutout to York's Coach Carver for attending her signing and receiving the baton as she steps into this new chapter.

We can’t wait to see Megan shine on and off the track at York University!
