AgSouth Homegrown Athlete of the Week – Emily Howard

Emily Howard, Diving, Senior, Newtown, PA

For the second meet in a row, Howard set a new school record in the three-meter, scoring a 319.50 to take first place in the event on Saturday against Davidson and James Madison. She also recorded a 289.30 in the one-meter, the second-best score of her career. The senior earned ACC Female Diver-of-the-Week honors for the performance, becoming the first Clemson diver to earn the distinction as a member of the women’s diving only program.

Howard finished the regular season with 119 competition points, most by any Tiger, and has qualified for the NCAA Zone Championships in both the one-meter and three-meter events. She holds the one-meter and three-meter school records as well as the McHugh Natatorium records in both events.
