Emily Gunter is a senior at Salem High School and the current president of the school's quizbowl team. She began playing quizbowl during her freshman year of high school. In 2020, she scaled back her involvement as a player and dedicated more of her time to tournament direction and outreach.
Emily's contributions to quizbowl include her Guide to High School Outreach and her guide to selecting a buzzer system. She also wrote a vanity packet centered around the 1980 US Olympic hockey team entitled "The Herb Brooks Memorial Packet".
In April 2020, in response to the cancellation of the 2020 ICT, she and Will Alston organized the Internet Charity Tournament, a weekend of vanity packet readings with charitable donations directed towards the CDC Foundation. In June 2020 she spoke at the David Riley Coaches Conference, where she spoke about outreach to under-represented populations and hosting quizbowl tournaments during the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020 she organized and directed the 2020 edition of Festivus, introducing a schedule for the first time, and collecting donations for Partners in Health to support frontline healthcare workers.
