HERD FILE: Emily played golf at Winter Park H.S. and was team captain junior and senior years, winning the 2019 Central Florida East Metro Championship with a 1-under par.

She is the daughter of Corrina and George McLatchey. Emily chose Marshall because, “I always knew I wanted to play golf at a collegiate level, so I began my college search with that in mind. With COVID-19 presenting many problems, I put a priority on choosing a school with a program and coach that seemed welcoming. Coach Burkhammer made me really excited about playing at Marshall, and as I was welcomed in by my teammates and school staff, I knew it was the correct fit.” Majoring in Marketing.
