MEREDITH COLLEGE ATHLETICS PROGRAM

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Weatherspoon Gymnasium.

THE DIVISION III EXPERIENCE

Meredith athletics teams participate in Division III of the National

Collegiate Athletic Association. Division III athletics offers student-

athletes the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals who

successfully integrate athletics and academics while experiencing

all aspects of college life. Student-athletes who compete at this level

can receive academic and need-based financial assistance. The

athletic department is staffed and funded like any other department in

the College.

ACADEMICS

Meredith College’s commitment to academics is exemplified by

its athletics teams. Each year, the USA South Athletic Conference

recognizes its student-athletes’ hard work in the classroom by naming

an Academic All-Conference team. In 2014, 60 Meredith students were

named to the team. The Meredith athletics program further recognizes

student-athletes who earn a 3.5 cumulative GPA as members of the

Athletics Director’s Club and those who earn a perfect 4.0 GPA with

the Vice-President’s Scholar-Athlete Award.

MEDICAL SERVICES

The athletic training staff provides excellent care for student-athletes.

The athletic training support staff consists of head athletic trainer,

Sharon Malley, and Assistant Athletic Trainer Heidi Roach. Dr. Doug

Martini of Cary Orthopedic serves as the program’s team physician. In

addition, Meredith College serves as a clinical site for the UNC-Chapel

Hill Undergraduate Athletic Training Program. Services and equipment

provided include a whirlpool, hydrocollator, ultrasound, injury ice and

electrical stimulation.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Members from each team are elected to the Student Athlete Advisory

Committee that organizes support for each sport and also coordinates

community service. Past volunteer work includes Special Olympics

of Wake County, Habitat for Humanity, Service Raleigh, and the USA

South Athletic Conference’s Cans Across the Conference and Pennies

for a Purpose.

COACHING STAFFFIONA BARKLEY

Fiona Barkley enters her eighth

season as head coach of the

Meredith College volleyball team

this fall. The 2013 squad posted an

overall record of 21-10 and ranked

second in the USA South - North

division regular season standings.

Under Barkley’s direction, the

Avenging Angels have earned 10

All-Conference player accolades,

including 2013 USA South Rookie

of the Year Karlie Long and 2008 USA South Libero of the Year Mary

Beth Finegan. Forty-three of Barkley’s players have earned USA

South All-Academic honors with their outstanding performance in the

classroom.

An assistant coach at N.C. State University from 2004-2005, Barkley

trained defensive systems while assisting with all aspects of the

Atlantic Coast Conference team. Prior to N.C. State, she served as

an assistant coach at Lynn University, a member of the Sunshine

State Conference, one of the most competitive conferences in all

of Division II.

Barkley began her collegiate coaching career as assistant coach

and recruiting coordinator at her alma mater, Elon University, and

completed her tenure at Elon in 2003 as interim head coach. During

her time with the Phoenix, she signed several recruits who went on to

earn All-Conference honors.

A four-year varsity letterwinner at Elon, Barkley helped lead the

Phoenix through its transition from Division II to Division I as a member

of the Big South Conference. Playing from 1995-98, she was named

captain during her senior year and capped off her career with Most

Valuable Player and All-Conference honors.

Barkley received numerous tournament awards throughout her career

at Elon and accumulated more than 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs. In

November 1996, she was named the AVCA Division II National Player

of the Week and later helped lead her team to the 1996 South Atlantic

Conference championship. Barkley earned a Bachelor of Science in

Leisure/Sport Management from Elon University in 1999.

In addition to managing the Meredith volleyball program, Barkley

chairs the Annual Golf Classic and serves as the advisor for the

Avenging Angels Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
