Orr, who played libero at Jamestown High School, finished her career as the Blue Jays’ all-time leader in digs (2189) and holds the JHS records for most digs in a season (821) and most digs in a single match (62). She was named All-Conference and All-State following the 2014 and 2015 seasons and was named to the 2012 All-State tournament team.

While at JHS, Orr also competed in basketball, track, choir, and is a member of the National Honor Society.

 

“Meghan is a great addition to our volleyball program,” said Hegerle.　”She comes from a family that tirelessly supports athletics and the Jimmies, and has grown up under the wing of Jimmie athletics.　I have coached Meghan since she was in 6th　grade in the Jamestown juniors program and have watched her mature, develop and excel not only in volleyball, but in multiple sports as well as in the classroom as a Blue Jay.　Meghan is a competitor and certainly embodies the Shakespeare quote ‘And though she be but little, she is fierce.’　 Meghan’s motor never stops.　She never takes a play off and competes with the purpose of not only winning, but in honoring the sport by playing the right way.　Most importantly, Meghan is a selfless teammate and a conscientious leader.　Her commitment to excellence and her team is uncommon which is why we expect her results to be uncommon.　We are thrilled to have Meghan join an accomplished group of defensive minded back row players.”

 

The daughter of Darron and Barb Orr, Meghan plans to major in Biology at the University of Jamestown.
