A Dual‑Sport Phenomenon
Meridian Bremel first made a name on the ice, guarding the net for Woodstock High’s Vermont Division II champion girls hockey teams in 2022 and 2023. Her poise between the pipes translated into a seamless shift to the track, where she now hurls the discus with a precision that belies her teenage years.
At Alfred University she set a new school record in the discus, sending the implement 131 feet, 8 inches — a mark that still reverberates across the campus. The achievement is all the more striking given the limited time she devotes to track practice, often stretching to four hours a day, and the myriad other pursuits that fill her schedule.
Balancing Boards, Saddles and Farm Life
When she isn’t on the throwing circle, Bremel spends time in the saddle, riding competitively and caring for two cows — Ford and Ranger — on a dairy farm during the summer months. The farm work grounds her athletic ambitions in a routine that blends physical labor with academic focus.
A biology major concentrating in animal sciences, she plans to pursue graduate studies in animal reproduction, with Texas A&M and Colorado State among the institutions under consideration. Her long‑term vision includes relocating westward, possibly to Montana, where she hopes to contribute to research that bridges genetics and livestock health.
