This year’s Homecoming football game will be played on Friday, October 9, against Austintown Fitch. The Hall of Fame ceremony will be Saturday, October 10, at the Colony Banquet Hall at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. Ticket information will be released at a later date.
The honor marks the second accolade for Myrick during the past 12 months as she was recognized among 75 athletes in the “Made in the PSAC” as part of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference’s 75th anniversary.
The “Made in the PSAC” group recognized former student-athletes that have gone on to influential careers after graduation (which could be in the sports industry, but not necessarily as a professional athlete.)
The lone water polo athlete among the group, Myrick competed at Gannon in both swimming and water polo from 2008-11. She served as captain of the swim team for two seasons and competed on the water polo squad in 2009 and 2010 during her time in Erie. In addition, she served as President of the Gannon Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and returned to her alma mater as an assistant swim coach.
She currently runs her own Coaching and Consulting Firm in North Carolina, working as a Peak Performance & Mindset Coach, Speaker, and Workshop Facilitator; she helps teams and leaders prevent burnout and achieve their goals.
In her experience, she has received many awards and certifications, as well as holding significant roles throughout her career. A few of these include: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Advanced PSYCH-K Facilitator of Energy Psychology, Trauma Informed Mental Health Specialist, she is a Former Global Leadership and Development Director, and has been highlighted three times in the Wall Street Journal as a Featured Expert.
