A couple springs ago, Leigh McCoy was selected as the top female high school scholar-athlete by The Oklahoman and our friends at the Jim Thorpe Association.

Now, she is putting that excellence on display at Harvard.

McCoy is the leading scorer on the Crimson’s field hockey team. The Casady graduate has scored six goals and notched two assists in the team’s first 11 games.

She had a particularly important stretch earlier this month. She scored one goal and set up a second one in a 4-1 win against Vermont. A few days later, she had another goal and assist in a 2-0 win at Brown.

For her performance, McCoy was named Harvard’s COOP student-athlete of the week.

Chalk up another student-athlete award for McCoy.
