SCA Spotlight Athlete: Emery Hart '23

When asked about Emery, head track coach, Bryan Picklesimer said, “Emery is a fantastic member of the team and works so hard every day.  She is always willing to do whatever we ask at a moment’s notice.  Her graceful, smooth stride makes her look so elegant on the track, but underneath the elegance is a fierce competitor who hate to lose.  Emery is someone we are so glad to have on the team and look forward to watching her continue to dominate this season.”  We sat down with Emery to find out what makes her such a great competitor.
