Congratulations Meredith Lindsay
Miss Railroad Days
Meredith Lindsay is an instructor and former cheerleader and dancer at Premier Athletics Clayton. Particpating in a pageant is something Meredith has always wanted to do and she decided to go for it. Selma Railroad Days is a festival that was started 36 years ago to help raise money for the train depot in Selma, NC. Today it is just a celebration of the ritch herritage of the railroad. Selma is thought to be home of the oldest train station in North Carolina. Every year the weekend before the festival Selma has the Miss Selma Railroad Days pageant.
Meredith had to compete in four different categories which were interview, casual wear, talent, and evening gown with an onstage question. At the end of the competition there were individual awards given out. She received most photogenic and the community service award. She was also crowned Miss Selma Railroad Days. Meredith said, "At first I was shocked because it was my first pageant, but I had set my mind to it and stayed confident throughout the whole competition." For the next year she will be making various appearances in the community and riding in a lot of parades. Her main goal during the pageant was not only to get to know the many wonderful people in our community, but to also encourage young girls to set goals and go for their dreams. She definitely proved that to herself the night she was crowned. Meredith's interview question, was who has been the biggest role model in herlife? Meredith said the answer was not hard at all! It was Stacy Rowe. Stacy currenlty works at Premier Athletics Corporate office, but previously was the manager and coach of the Clayton facility. She has been Meredith's coach for many years. Meredith said, "You cannot even imagine what Stacy's encouragment and love has meant to me over the past years. Being a part of Premier Athletics has made me the confident young woman I am today and I know for a fact I would have never been able to have gotten up on that stage and done what I did that night. She has taught me what it means to believe in yourself and that anything is possible. Winning the pageant will now allow me to inspire young people to do just what Stacy and the Premier Athletics program did for me. I cannot thank her enough for everything and I am excited to be a part of the Premier Clayton Shockers staff as MIss Selma Railroad Days!"
