Meet Sarah Meade: an avid supporter of Mason Athletics and an alumni from George Mason University and the Mason LIFE Program. Sarah is currently working at the Recreational and Ahtletic Complex (RAC) and in her spare time hangs out with her friends and family to cheer on Patriots-especially the Baseball team.
