Avery G. Meer

Avery aims to pursue a career in sports broadcasting, a passion sparked by his uncle, a lifelong, die-hard Yankees and Rangers fan. Avery grew up attending baseball and hockey games with his uncle, whose disability challenged his ability to see the action on the playing surface. Therefore, Avery would describe the live action to him in detail, like a broadcaster. Avery’s devout love for sports emerged later in his childhood, as he grew closer to his uncle, but he had always enjoyed broadcasting. When Avery realized he could turn sports broadcasting into a career, he fell in love with the concept and began working hard every day to get closer to entering the field.

Avery is a senior at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU). He is the Sports Director at the school’s radio station, KWUR 90.3 FM. The position involves being the school’s lead play-by-play voice, running the station’s first-ever podcast and social media account, and representing the WashU Bears with passion and poise.

Avery has also been writing a New York sports newsletter for four years, and it has evolved into an extensive online platform featuring articles about the Yankees, Rangers, Knicks, and Giants. By incorporating social media into this newsletter, it has reached over 50,000 readers and continues to grow every day.
