The Rundown



After a lightning quick progression into an All-State in Brooklyn as a freshman, Madison truly burst onto the scene during track, displaying a mid-distance magnificence that seemingly came out of nowhere. A 2:15 regional win led to more victories and two All-States, leaving us wondering what could be accomplished in the future.

After a sophomore season where she rattled off quicker times and gained more honors, her junior year is where we saw the fruits of her labor pay off. Multiple personal bests in the fall – at Jackson, Portage, all setting up for a State Finals that’d give Madison her best finish yet. But she redlined it a bit early, struggling toward the finish, valiantly crossing the line in 50^th. Disappointed and ready for another opportunity to prove her worth. Which is what she did the following week, leaving the season on a slightly higher note with a 17:54 at Shepherd.

Lessons learned, pre-race strategies applied, she attacked track in an aggressive, smooth manner. She bested the entire state indoors, then expanded her distance horizons in the weeks prior to the State Finals. Multiple sub-11’s and finally getting under 5:00. To me, the 1600m was the perfect combination of her speed and burgeoning endurance, and that proved true in a championship race, where she took the lead with 800m to go, gradually accelerating towards victory.

She enters her senior season in a great spot, leading her Titans, gaining confidence from track, and yet still having something to prove.
