Meghan (Browning) Harms has been a dedicated supporter of SWOSU athletic programs. As an enthusiastic and effective fundraiser and friendraiser, Harms has played an instrumental role in supporting SWOSU Athletics and the softball team. She was an initial donor to the SWOSU Softball Endowment, providing ongoing support for scholarships, recruitment, and team needs. Harms has also guided additional philanthropic efforts as a new board member of the SWOSU Athletic Association. Currently, she serves as a physician assistant for SWOSU sports medicine, providing sideline medical services for the Bulldogs with Mercy Orthopedic Associates, where she holds a Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Orthopedics, the first female in the state of Oklahoma to achieve this distinction. A four-year letterwinner for the SWOSU softball team from 2006-2009, Harms appeared in 86 games and was named a 2007 Lone Star Conference All-Academic honoree. She graduated with a degree in Allied Health Science in 2009 and later earned a master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Harding University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2012. She is married to Landon Harms, a former SWOSU baseball player, and the two have two children, Luke and Owen. Her contributions and commitment to SWOSU Athletics have earned her a place in the SWOSU Athletics Hall of Fame as a contributor.

She remains the all-time career leader in doubles (56), ranks second in hits (199), second in RBIs (107), and third in total bases (284). She set single-season program records for doubles (19) in 2003 and triples (5) in 2004 that held up for over a decade before finally being surpassed. During her time at SWOSU, Martin was part of two teams that qualified for the postseason. In high school, she was a four-time state tournament qualifier, a state champion in 1997, earned Oklahoma Softball All-State honors in 1999, and graduated as valedictorian from Adair High School in 2000. Martin earned a Doctorate of Pharmacy from SWOSU in 2007 and has worked as a pharmacist near her home of Adair, Oklahoma ever since. She continues to support the SWOSU softball program through the SWOSU Softball Endowment, which was established in 2022. Martin becomes SWOSU's first softball player to be inducted into the hall of fame for athletic achievements.
