WWE broadcaster Megan Morant says she’s qualified for Olympic trials
Megan Morant has qualified.
The WWE personality announced on social media that she has qualified for the Olympic trials. She has a background in running as a former D1 athlete and has participated in many marathons. In making the announcement, she reflected on what inspired her to attempt to qualify.
“I remember watching the Olympic Trials Marathon on NBC in 2020. A record number of women qualified to compete, and while watching, this crazy idea crossed my mind: what if you just tried?,” she wrote. “I was a has-been. My successful high school running career led to a DI college scholarship, but in college, things never really panned out. Deep down inside, I knew I still had untapped potential in running, but I often thought: who cares? What’s the point?”
But watching the 2020 Olympic trials inspired her to get things going, noticing that women from all walks of life tried out.
“For the first time it really clicked in my brain that you don’t have to be just one thing,” she wrote. “You can be a career woman, mother, and high level athlete all at the same time. Easy? No. Doable? If you want it to be: Why not? I was inspired. I got curious. I wanted to be there. I went to work. Over 6 years later, my dream is now a reality. With the greatest support system in the world by my side, I just qualified for the Olympic Trials (how is this even real?!)”
Morant is currently the host of WWE Now. She also recently joined Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 on Sirius XM.
