Join the CompetitionMadilyn is a competitor. She loves the thrill of not only competing against other kids, but also against herself to get better. While she is a competitor, she is also a social butterfly who loves cheering on her friends from the dugout or bench.
Madilyn was inspired by her siblings and cousin at a very young age. Growing up in the bleachers of many different types of sporting events, Madilyn always wanted to go out and play. Madilyn is also inspired by her parents who believe she can achieve any dream she wishes. Inspiration consistently comes from different players in different sports such as Hannah Hidalgo, Sonya Citron, The Westbeld sisters, Simone Biles, Erin Coffel, and Maddie Ziegler.
After a broken ankle in May 2025, Madilyn’s competition dance season and softball seasons seemed to be cut short. Despite the setback, Madilyn was in the dugout learning to do book and cheering on her teammates. She completed her local Girls on the Run marathon in a wheelchair and didn’t let a broken ankle stop her.
