Emma Daugherty '18 joining TAAC Hall of Fame
The Toledo Area Athletic Conference will induct Emma Daugherty ’18, the Ohio high jump champion in 2016 (indoor) and 2017 (outdoor), into its Hall of Fame this fall. Daugherty (daughter of Middle School teacher Frank Daugherty) also was TAAC champion for four consecutive years.
In 2017, she finished sixth at the New Balance High School National Championships, earning All-American honors.
(Maumee Valley is hosting the TAAC Hall of Fame induction banquet Nov. 10 in the Millhon Auditorium. The event begins at 6 p.m. and tickets are $35 per person. To buy a ticket, contact athletic director Rob Conover at rconover@mvcds.org.)
In addition to her state titles, Daugherty was indoor runner-up in 2017 and 2018 and outdoor runner-up in 2016. She also won numerous district and regional titles en route to competing at the state championships. While a member of the Maumee Valley track and field team, she also competed in the 100m hurdles, earning TAAC titles in 2017 and 2018.
In 2018, she was named All-TAAC first team in basketball (the same year the Hawks won the girls’ basketball title).
After Maumee Valley, she attended Princeton University, where she continued to high jump as a member of the women’s track and field teams. She graduated in 2022 and today is an editorial assistant at W. W. Norton in New Jersey.
Daugherty becomes the fourth Hawk inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining fellow athletes Rick Deichert ’12 and Megan Sieberg ’03 and Jim Fish, the former MV athletic director and one of the architects behind the formation of the TAAC.
