The College Sporting News Feature on Nick Myran.
- MIAC Profiles of Excellence - Nick Myran
For many college athletes, their decision to attend a particular school is influenced by the perception of the school they developed while being recruited by the school. They often choose a school based on the intensity that school recruited them. But Nick Myran chose to attend Concordia College because Concordia didn’t recruit him.

“A recruiting representative from Concordia came to my high school,” related Nick. “I got interested in Concordia based on what I heard that day about the school’s academics. The more I looked into Concordia, the more it sounded like a perfect fit for me. I came to visit the campus on a special weekend in the winter when they had kids from all sports visiting; it was sort of a sports recruits weekend. I loved the campus, the people I met and everything about Concordia and decided it was the right place for me.”(More)
