Hillsboro High School senior Megan McCarty signed a letter of intent May 1 to participate in track and field at Tabor College. Seated with her are parents Byron and Wendy McCarty; Tabor track coach Dave Kroeker (left) and HHS coach Dennis Boldt are standing behind them. “Megan has found her niche in the shot put and javelin over the past four seasons,” Boldt said. “As a four-year letter-winner, Megan quietly pulls in points throughout the season. I look forward to seeing her train and compete as she attends Tabor College, and wish her the best of luck.”
Adria Whitehorn and Kimberley Lawson will join the Tabor College women’s soccer team this fall.
Whitehorn, a 5-feet, 7-inch, midfielder-slash-forward from Duncanville, Texas, will transfer from Cisco (Texas) Junior College. She is the twin sister of Tabor standout Aubrey Whitehorn.
According to soccer coach Herb Wiebe, “Adria is a very athletic player who will help us in several different spots on the field.”
Whitehorn will also join the Bluejays softball team.
Lawson, from Thornton, Colo., is a 5-2 defender who played for Pinnacle Charter School.
Wiebe expects her to improve the team’s back line.
“Kim is a hard worker with a great attitude,” Wiebe said. “Her ‘no fear’ attitude will add depth to our defense.”
