Head Coach Lee Thompson's Comments: Madalyn is a senior this year at Jersey Shore Area Senior High school. Madalyn has been the points leaders for Jersey Shore High School since she was a Freshman, she has accumulated 10 gold medals (12 medals total) at the district level and she is a 5 time state medalist at the PIAA swimming event. Madalyn is one of the hardest worker and the most dedicated swimmer that I have ever coached. Her strongest event would be anything Freestyle from the 50 to the 500, she has been the Backstroker in every Medley Relay at the PIAA meet, but Madalyn is comfortable, confident and competitive in any event. Madalyn is determined to make a strong showing at the PIAA meet this year in multiple events; she has been cross training since the summer by running, lifting and doing Cross-Fit. Madalyn is looking to further her education and swimming career; looking at Duquesne University, the Naval Academy and West Virginia University.
