Megan Kelnar grew up and went to high school just 20 minutes up I-35 from Texas State. The Kyle native always wanted to stay close to home when going to college, but the path wasn’t as straightforward as anticipated.
Her freshman year of high school, Kelnar played in the outfield for Hays High School. She was one of a couple freshmen named to the varsity team that year and she quickly became an impact player for her school.
She was not only a softball standout, though. Kelnar played volleyball and was a weightlifter in high school. She had a sport for every season and liked to keep herself busy, always looking to compete.
