Congratulations to the Tuscaloosa Encore Athlete of the Month, Meredith Cowart! You won’t see her on the softball field or volleyball court; but you will find her in a dance studio! Meredith trains in a very technical and prestigious way through dancing. Only an 8th grader at Hillcrest Middle School, Meredith has been dancing for over 10 years now. She is a member of the Academy of Ballet and Jazz Company, in Northport, AL, where she also performs solos from time to time. Meredith has a 4.0 GPA, is a member of the Duke University Talent Identification Program, and the National Honor Society. Her future plans are to attend the University of Alabama and pursue a degree in Neonatal Nursing. Meredith is the daughter of Marvin and Sheila Cowart.

Keep up the good work, Meredith!
