Impossible is Nothing.
In September of 2012, Meg Herndon passed away from injuries suffered in a tragic scooter-truck collision near campus.
Meg was a soccer player under coach Heather Nelson at the time of her accident. Not only did she earn an athletic scholarship due to her hard work on the field, Meg also excelled in the classroom as well.
Herndon was a nursing major just like her mother. She was named to the Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll and a Southeast Scholar-Athlete each of her threeyears.
The Herndon family endowed a scholarship in Meg’s named following her tragic accident. The scholarship is for SEMO Women’s Soccer Athletes. Each year they hold a fundraiser at a St. Louis Cardinals game.
This motto is still displayed on team gear and in the team’s locker room.
