Laker Student-Athlete of the Month
Witley Nichols - Women's Soccer/ Basketball
Witley Nichols, a freshman studying Criminal Justice at MMCC is the first two sport athlete here in literally 40 years. Having excelled on the soccer field for Mid, Wit now spends time on the hardwood for the Lakers women's basketball team. Women's basketball coach Brad Henry stated, "What Witley brings to the table is a competitive spirit and a refocused effort on academics. Her interaction with teammates is special." Witley has become involved with the MMCC Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), which is quickly creating outreach in the community. "The athletic program and SAAC are working very hard to not only better themselves, but also the community. We have some events in the works and would love for the community to become involved," Witley commented.
One surprise Witley noted about her involvement with athletics at Mid included, "I am mostly surprised by the drive and determination from everyone involved with MMCC Athletics. They all fight to overcome the difficulties associated with the programs being so new. To see that and be a part of that is extremely rewarding in itself."
Also, "I've become a part of a family. Whenever I am faced with a dilemma, I know that I have a strong support system that would be willing to help me in a heartbeat. Taking part in MMCC Athletics has greatly enriched my college experience."
