LIVONIA, Mich. -- Head cross country coach Patrick Daugherty announced today that he has signed Emily Bambach (Livonia, Mich./Ladywood HS) to a letter of intent. Bambach, a Livonia Ladywood product, is the first signee for Daugherty for the upcoming 2008 season.

"Emily will be a great addition to our program this fall," said Daugherty after the signing. "She is an outstanding student-athlete and will certainly help us in our quest to capture a conference title."

Bambach has earned four letters in cross country at Ladywood in addition to three more on the track. She helped the Blazers to a pair of state finals appearances in cross country as a sophomore and junior and another in track as s sophomore.

As a sophomore, Bambach was named the cross country team's most improved runner after being named all-Catholic and followed that up by being selected as a scholar-athlete on the track. She picked up a second all-Catholic nod as well as the Athletic Director's award and another scholar athlete award as a junior.

Bambach plans to study forensic science at Madonna.
