McAdams finished with a time of 22:29 in the 6-kilometer race during her performance at Moorehead Farms. McAdams was named the first Ohio Athletic Conference champion from Muskingum University since 1991.
McAdams graduated with a degree in Art Education in May 2021. Due to COVID-19 regulations and injuries, McAdams was granted two extra years to run with the Muskingum Cross Country team.
“I was really excited that I was able to use by NCAA eligibility still because I wasn’t sure how that would work,” said Macy McAdams, current graduate student at Muskingum University.
McAdams is pursuing an online graduate degree in educational leadership and is also working towards her principal license. She is a full-time teacher at Massillon High School where she teaches art.
“I looked at other grad[uate] school options, but at the end of the day just going
back home to Muskingum where I felt most comfortable, you know, it was natural,”
said McAdams.
