Madison Akridge '23 Recruiting Profile

I am striving to meet my fullest potential in the sport of swimming.  One of my goals is to eventually swim in a NCAA championship meet as well as maintaining my academic achievements.  I put my 100% effort into everything I do athletically and scholastically.  I am always looking for that next step in reaching my goals, and I have a drive to better everything about myself.  Thus far, I have managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA and be involved with many other extra curricular activities.  My day usually starts around 4:45am and goes till 9pm.  From swimming to school to other extra curricular club activities, my days are always full.  Through these busy days, I have developed time management skills.  I always make sure I'm on top of things, but I always take it one day at a time.  It's really important to not only be in love with the end goal but to also be in love with the journey.
