MEGAN MCNALLY

Kentwood

Grade: Sophomore.

Sport: Track and Field.

Accomplishment: McNally, who runs the 800-meter dash among other events, broke a 21-year-old school record during last week’s league meet, breaking the tape in 2:20.03 to earn a berth to the district meet.

Favorite class: English and Marketing.

If you could invite anyone in the world to dinner, whom would you invite, and what would you serve: I would invite (teammate) Tim Pettit, Usain Bolt, and Reilly Retz, and I would serve tacos and enchiladas.

Greatest athletic moment: When I broke the 21-year-old school record for the 800.

Most recent book read/author: “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” by Khaled Hosseini.

What’s on your iPod?: John Mayer, 30H!3, and Eric Hutchinson.
