Big high fives and standing ovation for Argyle High School senior Emily Harbach! The Lady Eagle standout took first place in the 17-18 women's javelin with a throw of 43.66 meters. What an amazing accomplishment and congrats to Emily!!
Emily’s track Coach, Pete Abbey, recommended with her speed and softball history that she throw the javelin, so they began to work twice a week during the summer. At her first track meet, she finished 1st with a throw of 123’, which qualified her to throw in the Junior Olympics in College Station.
At the Junior Olympics, her first throw was only 97’- 11” which she followed with a longer throw of 117’ - 3”. This left her in 10th place while only the top 8 advance to finals.
She went from 10th to 1st in one throw, which qualified her for the finals and three more throws. In the finals, she further cemented 1st place with a new personal record of 143'-3", making her the 2024 Junior Olympics National Champion of Women Javelin Throw (17-18).
