February Member of the Month: Alana Merkow



February's member of the month is sophomore Alana Merkow. Alana is not just a member of the MD Gamma charter class, but she is also a member of Hopkins' varsity Track & Field team. Most recently, Alana became an Indoor Centennial Conference Champion in the shot put. In the competition on February 26th, Alana captured the title with her final throw of 39 feet and 4 inches. Her contribution played a large role in the team's historic first ever Indoor Conference Championship win.
Not only is she a star athlete, but Alana also brings the Pi Phi value of "Philanthropic Service to Others" to her teammates. Alana is currently working hard to plan the annual Blue Jay 5k, a race put on by the team in April in order to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 
Her dedication to her sport and to philanthropy makes Alana an outstanding Pi Phi, and February's member of the month.
