Career

[edit]

College and amateur

[edit]

Meek grew up in Claremont, California and played college soccer at Westmont College, where he earned All-American (HM), Region II and All-Conference honors and was the team's defensive MVP.[1] As a defender he played in over 77 games for the Warriors and scored 13 goals and added 13 assists. During his college years he also spent four years playing with the Southern California Seahorses in the USL Premier Development League.[2]

Professional

[edit]

Undrafted out of college, Meek signed with the Charlotte Eagles in the USL Second Division in 2004. He played an integral role in the team's defense leading to three consecutive Championship Finals and a USL Second Division Championship in 2005 [3] where Meek was named the Championship Game MVP[4] scoring the game tying goal and game winning penalty kick. Meek had a brief stint with the Colorado Rapids reserve team of Major League Soccer (MLS) as a guest player at the end of the 2006 season.[5]
