Meehan (1971-74) was part of some of Northeastern's most successful crews in the storied history of the program, winning all but one regular season race over his four seasons, reaching the Grand Final at the Eastern Sprints in four consecutive years and the Grand Final at the IRA Championships three times.
 
After reaching the first varsity boat as a junior in 1973 and rowing from the four seat, Meehan helped the Huskies to an undefeated dual racing season, first at the Eastern Sprints and third at the IRA Championships, the best showing by the 1V at the time at the national championship. The crew went on to finish second in the Grand Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta, one of two Henley appearances for Meehan during his Northeastern career.
 
In the stroke seat of the first varsity his senior season, Meehan led Northeastern to a third place finish at Eastern Sprints and seventh at the IRA after losing just one dual race during the regular season.
