Madison is Athlete of the Year because of her passion for volleyball, her relentless effort on the court, and her ability to inspire others.

Madison loves playing sports because they give her an adrenaline rush and a sense of purpose. Whether she’s diving for a volleyball or stepping up to bat in softball, she thrives in high-pressure moments that challenge her to be her best. The intensity of the game fuels her drive to excel — not just to win, but to grow as an athlete.
Her Brother Rance inspires her off the field. Watching him succeed in things others once said were impossible has changed the way she sees her own challenges. His determination and resilience have taught her that limits are just starting points. He inspires her to push harder, to believe more, and to never settle.
There isn't just one moment that makes me proud — it's every single time I watch Madison play. Whether she's stepping onto the volleyball court or walking up to the plate in softball, I see her fire, her passion, and her heart. She gives it everything she has, and that alone makes her amazing. Watching her grow, compete, and rise to every challenge makes me prouder than words can say — not because of any one achievement, but because of who she is every time she plays.
