Notes:

Megan Hogan was a high school (Saratoga Catholic) and college basketball star who left the basketball team at Mount Ida College in Newton, Mass., to transfer to George Washington University after her sophomore year. It was at GW that she launched a collegiate running career even though the school didn’t offer women’s track.

During her final year of collegiate eligibility in 2010, Megan posted 32:34 in the 10,000 meters at the Stanford Invitational, finished sixth in the 10,000 at the USA Outdoor Championships, was the Atlantic 10 Cross Country Conference Champion (for the second year in a row), and finished eighth overall at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.

While at GW, Megan received the Atlantic 10 women’s cross country Performer of the Year Award as well as the Atlantic 10 Student Athlete of the Year Award. Her coach named her one of the most accomplished student-athletes in the history of GW athletics. She was also a two-time All American in cross country.

Megan made her professional road racing debut at the 2011 USA 15k Championships in March and finished 3rd.  On the track, she posted a 40-second PR in the 5000m at the Mt. SAC Relays for a time of 15:29.12.

She joined Team USA Minnesota in 2011.
