Name: Meredith Ashley Alexis

Age: 31

Hometown: Hanover Township

Favorite Weekender feature: Model of the Week, of course, and the music updates for sure.

Favorite Fall activity? Haunted houses and orchard tours.

What would your last meal be? Some Alaskan king crab legs, sashimi with a nice Cote de Rhone.

Who do you admire? I will always admire my college basketball coach, Kenny Brooks. He mentored me throughout my college and professional career. He not only helped me progress as a player but as a person. He truly became a second father to me, and I love him for everything he has done for me. Good luck in your first year as Virginia Tech’s head coach, Coach!

Favorite concert?: Club Metro, Bedford’s sendoff circa 2003.

What’s your life motto: Que sera, sera.

What advice would you give your younger self?: Stick true to yourself and what you want in life. Do you, not what others think you should.

What accomplishment are you most proud? I’m proud of holding the all time CAA conference rebounding record — 1,313 baby.

What’s the craziest thing you have ever done?: Jell-O wrestling at a frat house. Then the Black Eye Peas walked in. Then I went to basketball practice stained red the next morning.

What would your theme song be? Either “Redneck Side” by Justin Moore or “Kick it in the Sticks” by Brantley Gilbert.
