From Mechelle: Neuvirth helps carry Creighton

Creighton senior Megan Neuvirth has done so much right in her life, she can almost seem like a made-up character. Sort of a female version of the perfect half of the Highlights magazine cartoon duo Goofus and Gallant.

"Oh, you know, she's just a normal kid," her mom, Jodi, said. But then she acknowledged, "I never had to motivate her. She's positive and excited about every challenge she takes. She's always been that way."
