This Saturday, ESPN’s “E60” tackles a story that extends far beyond the playing field, exploring the tragic loss of Stanford soccer star Katie Meyer and the ripple effects of her death. “Save: The Katie Meyer Story” examines the circumstances surrounding Meyer’s suicide in 2022, just three months shy of her graduation.
A team captain and national champion in 2019, Meyer seemed to have the world at her feet. “E60” seeks to understand what happened in the final months of her life, including the impact of a disciplinary procedure at Stanford.
The episode doesn’t simply recount the events; it centers on the Meyer family’s search for answers and their tireless advocacy for change in the wake of their daughter’s death. That advocacy led to the passage of a new California law in Katie’s name, aimed at preventing similar tragedies and supporting student mental health. Through exclusive interviews, personal accounts, and archival footage, “E60” presents a heartbreaking portrait of a young life cut short and a family determined to find meaning in their loss.
The broadcast airs Saturday, May 10th at 11:00 AM ET on ESPN.
