Madison Rechner '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi! I am Madison Rechner and I go to Appleton East High School.  

 I just started competing in high jump this past track season and earned 2nd team all conference  and  4th place at sectionals.  It has been fun trying something new and I plan to continue practicing to get ready for my senior year in that event.  I also love to run and was a part of our schools 4x400 relay team and have run in many different events this past season.   I am willng to try new events and I believe I am very coachable.   I am excited for the upcoming cross country season this fall.  Please see the events that I have competed in here:

 I am an extremely hard worker and always strive to better myself each time I run, whether that is in practice or a meet.  My persistence in and out of practice is demonstrated through progressively getting better every meet. Though I don't see a PR every time I race, I seek and apply my coaches advice and tips in every meet.  After being in competitive volleyball for three years and finally switching to running, I realized that running was my passion. 

Though I didn't start competitively running until my Sophomore year of high school, it has improved not only my athletics but other aspects of my life as well. I have made life-long friendships and connections through this sport that I truly believe I will never lose. While focusing a great amount of my energy on running, I realize that academics are equally, if not more important. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my grades. I strive for academic validation and because of my focus and drive, I have been able to maintain a 4.0 in my first three years of high school.   I feel that I will make a good candidate for any college team because I have a continuous drive for improvement and  my work ethic inside or outside running is my greatest strength.     

My goal is to be able to run competitively in college and I am working very hard to achieve my dream.
