"Emily is a great example of what one can achieve with hard work and dedication to craft. During her time at Rice, Emily has been an integral part of three State championship teams, as well as three state record relay teams. Individually, she is a 7 time state champion, and holds three school records (indoor & outdoor metric mile, cross country). As a teammate, Emily leads by example, and has become one of the caring seniors that she looked up to as a freshman phenom."
