Meridian High School

Here is a reminder about tonight's Track and Field "Mini-Meet."

Here is a little blurb for the track meet tonight in WL.

Good luck track team!

We have some great news coming out of the soccer world. Meridian's Molly Burgess broke the season assist record in last night's game vs Urbana Uni High. She set the old record last year with 8. Currently, she has recorded 10. She still has half the season left to strengthen her record. Good job Molly! Keep it up!!

Additionally, the soccer team broke the single season goal record last night by netting their 47th goal as a team. Great job soccer team! Keep it up!!

It is a great day to be a HAWK!

Tonight's HS softball game vs St. T. has been postponed.

Here are some of the highlights of last night's track meet.

Here are some of the highlights of last night's track meet.

The Meridian Softball team continues to produce not only wins, but awesome memories as this 2026 Spring season continues.

Last night, senior pitcher Ashley Schelling threw a PERFECT GAME! In 5-innings pitched she did not give up a run, hit, OR walk as she led the team to a 12-0 win over Tuscola. She stuck out 12 batters which meant her defense only needed to produce 3 outs. This is fantastic news for Ashely and our softball team who improved their record to 11-3.

Great job Ashley AND the softball team!!

It's a great day to be a HAWK!

They were not all home games, but Meridian still came up with the Tuesday Trifecta!

Additionally, the track team had a great showing at the MF track Meet.

It is a great day to be a Hawk!!

This past weekend vs Pana, Sophomore, Morgan Knierim had an impressive game. She hit for the cycle which means her offensive game included a homerun, triple, double, and single. In fact, she hit 2 singles. That is impressive. Keep up the great work today Morgan and the rest of the softball team as you take on Tuscola.

Both the baseball and softball teams are in Tuscola tonight. Both games start at 4:30.

If you are in town, swing by the school to watch the girl's soccer. They faceoff against Riverton at 4:30.

There was a mistake on the original schedule for this week for a soccer match location. Here is the updated schedule.

The softball team traveled down to Pana yesterday to play in a triangular. The team continues to keep the pedal down as they improve their record to 10-3. Some big news came out of yesterday's games as Shelby Renfro broke the record for HS career hits. The old record was 188 and now Shelby is sitting at 190. She still has more than 20 games left to play. Great job Shelby on your outstanding accomplishment! We are proud of you! Keep it up!!

Here is this week's athletic schedule for the HS.

MHS/MMS has a couple of coaching opportunities for next school year.

The weather man is saying game time should be right at 78 degrees and mostly sunny.

Mix that in with a burger and popcorn while the Hawks softball and baseball teams take on the Cardinals of WL...and you have yourself a perfect evening.

It's the battle of the birds and CIC baseball/softball.

Come on out to the Meridian campus Hawk Nation.
