Personal

Madeleine started rowing in 2013 as a walk-on at the University of Wisconsin. There she led the team to a pair of top 10 NCAA finishes in 2016 and 2017 and garnered second team All-Big Ten and All-Region honors. She counts Badger rowing legends, Grace Latz and Vicky Optiz, among her sporting heroes. In addition to rowing, Madeleine loves music, art, and the outdoors. She is an advocate for women’s rights and athlete mental health. Madeleine finished her masters in sports leadership through UW Madison in 2024 and is looking forward to using her degree to pursue coaching or sports psychology. She hopes to help younger athletes, especially girls, build confidence and life skills through sports. Madeleine would like to thank her parents, family, friends, and teammates for all of their support over the years and especially this one.
