McConnell Scholar keeps time for nationally televised political debate

Meghan Waters, a freshman McConnell Scholar, was the time keeper for the Oct. 17 University of Louisville-WHAS TV debate between U.S. Senate candidates Jack Conway and Rand Paul.

The debate was also featured on C-SPAN.

Waters, 15, of Highland Heights, kept time for two other debates co-sponsored by the university and WHAS TV. The other debates featured Todd Lally and John Yarmuth, candidates for Kentucky's 3rd district Congressional seat, on Oct. 12, and Louisville Metro mayoral candidates Greg Fischer and Hal Heiner on Oct. 14.
