Player profile - Emily Meagher, Varsity Volleyball

Emily Lynn Meagher (it’s pronounced Marr) is a varsity OHHS volleyball player. The 5’2” defensive specialist was born in Iceland on December 12^th and has lived in Oak Harbor for 8 years. In addition to OH and Iceland, Emily also lived in California, Maryland and Michigan. She is the daughter of Shari, who manages the Dugualla Bay Farms and Jim, who works for A.T. Solutions. Emily has a 22 year old brother, Zach, and a 21 year old sister, Sarah.

Emily’s favorite classes are those that involve writing, and she loves being able to express herself through her pen (or keyboard). Her favorite teacher is Ms. Weikle, who not only teaches her favorite subject, but is also her softball coach.

When asked why volleyball and not another sport, Emily said it’s because she likes volleyball, and is “pretty decent” at it. She feels she brings a positive attitude to the team, and in her words, is a bit “quirky”. One thing she plans to work on is her ability to ‘shake off’ any of her mistakes. She hasn’t set any personal goals in volleyball, but wants to see the team get to Districts. Personally, she wants to achieve and maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA.

In addition to volleyball, Emily is a member of the varsity softball team. She enjoys playing racquetball and softball just for fun. On TV, her sport of choice is NCAA softball. She normally listens to 106.1 on her radio, but also enjoys a bit of country. One of her favorite movies is “A Walk to Remember” and she likes to watch “True Blood” on TV. On Friday nights in the fall you can find her at the football games wearing #45, Brad Farnum’s jersey.

While not committed yet, Emily thinks she might like a career in either genetics or psychology, and would like to do that work in western Washington.

Something you probably didn’t know about Emily: She likes to sing into her hair brush.
