Emily Azevedo, a Chico High School alumna, was a member of the 2010 United States Olympic bobsled team, where she and teammate Bree Schaaf placed fifth.
Now, she’s carrying on a family tradition as a member of the Chico Sports Hall of Fame.
When Azevedo is inducted, she will join her father, Dr. Alan Azevedo (class of 2015) as the first father-daughter duo to be inducted into the Chico Sports Hall of Fame. There have been mother-son duos and father-son duos, but the Azevedos will be the first father-daughter duo.
“It is fun to think about being with my dad, and in that same vein,” Azevedo said. “My father is an incredible person, so I obviously look up a lot to him. To be considered in the same position, whether it’s from an athletic standpoint or who you are, is something that is very memorable.”
Azevedo went to law school and is now on the US Olympic Athlete Ombuds Team.
