Megan Kaltenbach Burke was a standout cross country and track athlete who won four-straight cross country titles from 1999-2003 and led Smoky Hill High School to the cross country team championship in 2002. A 15-time state champion in both sports, she set several records in long-distance events and won the four big-school track titles in the same season (800m, 1600m, 3200m and 4x800m relay). Her dominance in high school earned her recognition as one of the top prep distance runners in the country, as she twice won the Nike Indoor National Championship in the 3200m. Kaltenbach Burke continued her athletic success at the University of North Carolina, where she helped the DMR team set a new American record in 2007. She concluded her collegiate career as a two-time NCAA champion, a two-time All American, and a two-time All-ACC performer.
