Megan Thurow returns to M.A

 

Megan Thurow returned to Minnehaha’s volleyball program this year as varsity head coach. A 2015 M.A. graduate, she started playing volleyball for the Redhawks in 6th grade. 

“I played volleyball and softball pretty much my whole life,” she said. “Both my parents were coaches, so I kind of decided to be a coach after I was done playing.” This is not the first time Thurow has coached volleyball teams. 

“I started coaching a 14U volleyball club” before coming to Minehaha, she said, “and then I started coaching JV here. When the job opened up last year that’s when I got the varsity job.” 

She is also head coach of girls varsity softball in spring.
