Daughter of Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Recovery From Emergency Surgery

While the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for a journey to an unprecedented Three-Peat, one of the members of their family is commencing a recovery from a serious injury.

The daughter of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt is recovering from emergency surgery after sustaining a “deep wound” while hiking in the mountains with her family this week. Ava Hunt, 18 — one of three children Clark shares with wife Tavia — was rushed to the hospital earlier after she suffered a fall.

Tavia Hunt wrote on Instagram Tuesday that her daughter “fell down the mountain” and was sent into surgery.

“It’s been a long day,” Tavia wrote . “Praise God she’s in recovery and already smiling. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery.”

Ava will be a freshman at SMU this Fall and will be a cheerleader.

She posted on her social media that the operation went "very smoothly."

The family hasn't shared details of the injury or the exact location where the accident occured.

Ava Hunt’s last public appearance before the injury came on August 3, when she attended a Morgan Wallen concert at Arrowhead Stadium with older sister Gracie Hunt, according to posts shared on social media.
