Friday morning she was sitting behind a table between family members in the lobby of Valdosta’s Performing Arts Center signing a letter-of-intent with the Division I university.
McKinnon, who lettered all four years in the sport, celebrated her special moment Friday morning with coaches, family, friends and the piece of mind of knowing she made the best possible decision in becoming a Rattler.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” the Wildcat senior said. “It’s been a long journey and I just thank God for bringing me this far.”
Before inking her name, McKinnon announced to the congregation that she knew she was going to cry. As she held back tears, her voice cracked as she thanked everyone for coming and for their love and support.
McKinnon considered offers from Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Savannah State and Austin Peay before traveling to Tallahassee, Fla., for a tour of the FAMU campus and meeting the women’s track coach, Dr. Darlene Moore.
